AMPH stock chart

Valuation

AMPH stands out with a Valuation Rating of 8/10, indicating the stock is priced attractively relative to its fundamentals. Key highlights include:

  • A P/E ratio of 6.52, well below both the industry average (20.04) and the S&P 500 (27.45).
  • A forward P/E of 6.37, suggesting continued undervaluation.
  • An Enterprise Value to EBITDA ratio that ranks better than 94.87% of its pharmaceutical peers.

These metrics suggest the market may be pricing AMPH conservatively despite its solid financial performance.

Profitability

The company earns a Profitability Rating of 8/10, supported by:

  • A Return on Assets (ROA) of 8.71%, outperforming 92.31% of industry competitors.
  • A Return on Equity (ROE) of 18.85%, ranking above 91.79% of peers.
  • Strong operating margins (26.65%) and profit margins (19.38%), both well ahead of industry averages.

These figures indicate efficient operations and the ability to generate consistent earnings.

Financial Health

With a Health Rating of 6/10, AMPH maintains a stable financial position:

  • A Current Ratio of 2.95 and Quick Ratio of 2.02, signaling good short-term liquidity.
  • A Debt-to-Equity ratio of 0.80, manageable but slightly higher than some peers.
  • A Debt-to-Free Cash Flow ratio of 4.02, better than 87.18% of competitors.

While leverage is present, the company’s cash flow generation helps mitigate risks.

Growth

AMPH’s Growth Rating of 4/10 reflects mixed trends:

  • Revenue growth of 17.82% annually over the past few years.
  • EPS growth of 61.62% over the same period, though recent declines (-4.30% YoY) warrant monitoring.
