Fundamental Analysis

Based strictly on the provided FUNDAMENTALS data for ZETA (sourced 2026-10-22):

• Trailing EPS is -0.01; the company is marginally unprofitable on a trailing basis.
• Trailing P/E: null; Forward P/E: null; PEG Ratio: null — no valuation multiples available from data.
• Profit margins (gross, operating, net), ROE, Debt/Equity, and Free Cash Flow: all null in data.
• Revenue growth YoY and total revenue: null; no trend data provided.
• Market cap: $8,464,192,080.00; shares out: 251,014,000.00; dividend yield 0.00%.
• Institutional ownership: 53.01%; Beta: 1.51 (above market, higher volatility).

Fundamental takeaway: Data shows near-breakeven EPS, no listed margins or growth, and high beta.
