Benchmarks: EV/EBITDA
EV/EBITDA: Calculated by dividing
Enterprise Value
by EBITDA
is often used to
benchmark the fair market value of a company. It's key benefit
over the P/E ratio
is that it's capital
structure-neutral (excludes interest expense and associated tax
benefits) therefore, better at comparing companies with different
levels of debt.
Companies with higher growth usually trade at higher
EV/EBITDA
multiples.
