EBITDA may also be used alongside the Enterprise Value of a company. Enterprise Value is calculated by looking at a company's market capitalisation, plus its debt, less its cash balances. It is a shorthand to judge the fair price of a company for a buyout or takeover. Lower EV/EBITDA values indicate a more compelling valuation for potential buyers, including traders.
The EBITDA ratio may also be used alongside the P/E ratio. This gives an indication of whether a company looks expensive relative to its current operating strength.
No single metric can tell you everything you need to know about a company’s valuation. Each needs to be looked at in its historical context, against a company’s peers and in combination with other metrics.
