Find Ratings ReportsSUNPOWER CORP's gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2023 has significantly decreased when compared to the same period a year ago. Sales and net income fell significantly, underperforming compared to the average company in its subsector. SUNPOWER CORP has very weak liquidity. Currently, the Quick Ratio is 0.34 which clearly shows a lack of ability to cover short-term cash needs. The liquidity decreased from the same period a year ago, despite already having weak liquidity to begin with. This would indicate deteriorating cash flow.
At the same time, stockholders' equity ("net worth") has significantly decreased by 46.82% from the same quarter last year. The key liquidity measurements indicate that the company is in a position in which financial difficulties could develop in the near future.

SELL. The current P/E ratio is negative, which has no meaningful value in the assessment of premium or discount valuation, it simply displays that the company has negative earnings. For additional comparison, its price-to-book ratio of 1.53 indicates a significant discount versus the S&P 500 average of 4.68 and a significant discount versus the subsector average of 4.14. The price-to-sales ratio is well below both the S&P 500 average and the subsector average, indicating a discount. After reviewing these and other key valuation criteria, SUNPOWER CORP proves to trade at a discount to investment alternatives.
