Competing with firms like Brookfield Renewable Partners and Innergex Renewable Energy, Boralex reported its earnings before the market opened on February 28, 2025, revealing an EPS of -$0.10. This was significantly below the estimated EPS of $0.32. The company's actual revenue was approximately $158.4 million, falling short of the estimated $243 million.
Despite the disappointing earnings, Boralex's financial metrics provide a broader perspective. The company has a Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 44.23, indicating that investors are willing to pay over 44 times the company's earnings over the past year. This suggests strong investor confidence in the company's future growth potential, despite the current earnings shortfall.
Boralex's Price-to-Sales ratio is about 3.26, showing that the market values the company at over three times its annual sales. The Enterprise Value to Sales ratio is approximately 6.94, reflecting the company's total valuation relative to its sales. These ratios suggest that the market sees potential in Boralex's revenue-generating capabilities, even if current earnings are lacking.
However, the company's financial health presents some challenges. The Debt-to-Equity ratio is about 2.34, indicating that Boralex has more than twice as much debt as equity. Additionally, the Current ratio is approximately 0.86, suggesting potential difficulties in covering short-term liabilities with short-term assets. These figures highlight the importance of managing debt and liquidity effectively to ensure long-term stability.
