Alcatel-Lucent Valuation
No matter how good a company is, if the price that you pay to buy it is too high, you won't make much money. These valuation metrics should give you a sense of reasonable prices, but be careful with them. Always seek to understand why a valuation is changing over time.
Price Multiples
Price Multiples show how much you get for the price you pay. They can fluctuate drastically over time. Looking at price multiples over time and comparing to those of competitors will help to triangulate a reasonable valuation.
Price to Sales Ratio
Tells you how much you are paying for one dollar of sales.
Price to Earnings Ratio
Tells you how much you are paying for one dollar of earnings.
Enterprise Valuation
Enterprise Value (EV) multiples tell you what you would get if you were to buy the whole company (including paying off all debt). Similar to price multiples, they can be compared across time and with peers.
EV / EBITDA Pro
Tells you how much you pay for one dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization if you were buying the whole company.
EV / Revenue Pro
Tells you how much you pay for one dollar of sales if you were buying the whole company.
EV / EBIT Pro
