Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (DLPN) has a negative trailing P/E of -5.4, meaning the company is currently unprofitable on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis. The forward P/E of 6.4 based on analyst estimates suggests a return to profitability is expected. Trailing earnings yield is -18.57%, forward earnings yield 15.65%. PEG 0.15 (Peter Lynch undervalued ≤1.0).

Criteria proven by this page:

VALUE (0/100, Fail) — negative P/E indicates the company is currently operating at a loss — DCF and P/E-based valuation models cannot produce meaningful results for unprofitable companies (P/E -5.4); trailing earnings yield is below the 10-year Treasury yield (~4.3%), meaning bonds offer a better return (EY -18.57%).
Forward P/E 6.4 — analysts expect a return to profitability with estimated EPS of $0.23 for FY2026.
PEG Ratio 0.15 — below 1.0 suggests the stock is undervalued relative to its earnings growth rate (Peter Lynch criterion).
Trailing Earnings Yield -18.57% — negative yield confirms the company is currently unprofitable. Investors are paying for a turnaround rather than current earnings. Forward yield improves to 15.65% as earnings recover.

Overall SharesGrow Score: 27/100 with 1/7 criteria passed.
