EV / EBITDA
EV/EBITDA is the enterprise value of a company divided by its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. (EV/EBITDA)
EV/EBITDA answers the question "What is a company being valued per each dollar of EBITDA?" A high (low) EV/EBITDA mean the company is potentially overvalued (undervalued).
Other similar metrics include :
EV/Revenues: How much is each dollar of revenues worth to investors?
