Altimmune Inc. is a company with potential, but currently faces challenges that make it appear overvalued. The company's negative earnings growth rate and declining revenues of -69.0% annually raise concerns about its financial health. However, Altimmune is making significant reinvestments into the business, with capital expenditures growing at a rate of 18.3%. Additionally, its earnings per share have shown a modest annualized growth rate of 2.9% over the past 6 years.

Altimmune's negative trailing twelve month earnings per share make its P/E ratio not meaningful, and its consistently negative free cash flows of $-58.77 million over the last 5 years, with a growth rate of -52.7%, indicate the company's financial struggles.

On a positive note, Altimmune boasts a strong current ratio of 13.11, indicating that its current assets of $137.25 million far exceed its current liabilities of $10.47 million. Additionally, its Price to Book Ratio of 2.01 is lower than the sector average of 3.19, suggesting that the stock might be undervalued in comparison to its assets.
