Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
15.7
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)Shows how much investors pay for each $1 of profit. We display the TTM P/E (Trailing Twelve Months) which uses actual earnings from the last 4 quarters. This is more reliable than Forward P/E which uses analyst estimates.
Calculation: 31.52 ÷ 2.01 = 15.7
TTM period through: 2025-12-31
Forward P/E (estimated): 12.6
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Trailing): 15.9
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
-0.7x
Latest quarter: -3.4x
Net Debt / EBITDAA leverage ratio showing how many years of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) it would take to repay net debt. EBITDA approximates operating cash generation. Lower ratios (e.g., <3x) are generally safer; higher (e.g., >5x) may indicate more financial risk.
TTM through: 2025-12-31
Latest quarter (2025-12-31): -3.4x
The quarterly value can spike when quarterly EBITDA is very low (e.g., one-time charges).
Quick guide: <2x manageable, >4x can be risky (sector-dependent).
Payout (TTM)
19.5%
Payout RatioDividends as a percentage of earnings. The Forward payout (Fwd) uses the announced dividend divided by actual past earnings (TTM) — it tells you if the company can afford what it promised. Very high payouts can be risky, especially if profits fall.
Cash Flow Payout (TTM): 21.6%
FCF Coverage (TTM): 4.12x
ROE
32.5%
ROE (Return on Equity)A profitability measure: how much profit is generated from shareholders’ equity. Higher isn’t always better if it comes from high debt.
EV/EBITDA
6.7x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Summary
Técnicas Reunidas is a global engineering and construction firm focused primarily on large energy and industrial projects. Despite a strong net cash position and recent high-profile contract wins, its highly cyclical business model, thin margins, and history of severe dividend suspensions make it unsuitable for a conservative dividend income strategy. Not recommended for new positions, as better opportunities exist in stable essential services with predictable recurring revenues.
Sector Context
Técnicas Reunidas is a global engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor specializing in large-scale industrial and energy infrastructure projects. For dividend investors, the EPC sector is notoriously difficult; revenues are project-based and highly cyclical, margins are historically thin, and execution risks often lead to volatile earnings rather than the predictable cash flows needed for reliable dividend income.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Maintains a strong net cash position (Net Debt/EBITDA of -0.73x), providing a solid financial buffer against cyclical industry downturns.
- • Returning to profitability with positive revenue momentum, supported by recent high-profile engineering and construction contract wins in LNG and energy transition projects.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Highly cyclical Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) business model fundamentally lacks the predictable, recurring revenues required for a stable dividend strategy.
- • Unreliable dividend track record (consistency score 35/100) with a -20.9% 10-year CAGR, including severe cuts and a near-total suspension in 2019.
- • History of extreme earnings volatility, recording significant net losses in 2019, 2021, and 2022 due to project delays and cost overruns typical of the EPC industry.
- • Current implied dividend yield based on recent payouts is negligible and falls well below the strategy's 3% minimum threshold.
