The company currently exhibits a P/E ratio of 8, alongside a price-to-book value of 1.35. Its enterprise value to EBITDA stands at 4.30, while the EV to EBIT is recorded at 5.65. Notably, Ceragon's return on capital employed (ROCE) is at 23.85%, and its return on equity (ROE) is 16.74%.
In comparison to its peers, Ceragon Networks demonstrates a more favorable valuation profile.
