The PE ratio measures the
reported earnings of a company to its current stock price. While earnings are
easy to manipulate on the balance sheet, this ratio gives you a sense of what
buyers are willing to pay for the stock—what they believe it will do in
the future.
Comparing a stock's PE to the average PE of companies in its industry gives
you a sense of market sentiment about the stock and how well it fares
financially. It's not the only number, nor the most important, but comparing
similar companies is valuable. A ratio far above or below that of its peers is
significant.
Industries are more specific than sectors, so companies within most
industries are more similar than are companies within an industry. Be aware
that the size and customers of companies are important to their prospects.

The free cash flow
jitter of a stock measures how much the company's free cash flow varies
from its historical trend, on average. While it's always nice to make more
money than you expected, a company with predictable free cash flow is stable
and good. A company with wild swings in its free cash flow warrants further
research.
We do not have enough reported years for New Gold under its current SEC filer to measure its free cash flow.
Year-to-year variability in free cash flow is unusually steady, measured at 0%.
We do not estimate a fair value for New Gold while its free cash flow growth is not positive, so there is no value comparison here.
We do not have a dividend yield for New Gold.
These numbers change when new filings or prices arrive, so treat this page as a snapshot and check the company's own filings.
Compared With Its Sector and Industry
Its trailing P/E ratio is 113% above the average for stocks in the Basic Materials sector.
Its trailing P/E ratio is 70% below the average for stocks in the Other Industrial Metals & Mining industry.
A P/E ratio depends on trailing earnings, which one-time items can distort, so a lower P/E is not by itself evidence of value.
SEC Filer History

We have no value estimate for this stock, so no price comparison is made.
These figures are automated calculations from SEC filings and the recent price. They may contain errors, and they do not reflect lawsuits, management changes, or other events the filings do not show.
