Why is Centrus Energy Corp.'s P/E so low?
Centrus Energy Corp. trades at a P/E of 47.0× on reported earnings, but over the last 12 months 84 % of its pre-tax income ($40.0M) came from outside the business, such as revaluations or sales of stakes in other companies. It is real money, but it doesn't repeat every year. Without that part, its P/E would be about 268×. Kaplio's calculation from the official quarterly accounts filed up to the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
| Quarter ended | From the business | Outside the business | Net income |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2025 | $8.6M | $3.9M | |
| December 31, 2025 | $12.8M | $8.5M | $17.8M |
