How each method works
P / B: $2.27 to $3.63 (midpoint $2.81)
Values the stock at a peer multiple of its book (net asset) value — most meaningful for asset-heavy and financial companies whose balance sheet drives value.
- How it’s calculated
- We take book value per share (total assets minus total liabilities, from the latest balance sheet, divided by shares outstanding) and multiply it by the range of price-to-book multiples the peer group trades at.
- Why it fits this industry
- Where the balance sheet is the business — lenders, insurers, asset-heavy operators — the price the market pays for a dollar of net assets is a natural yardstick.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. Asset-light companies (brands, software) legitimately trade far above book value, so for them a P/B bar well below the price is usually structure, not signal.
P / B = (1.02/1.26/1.62)× book_value_per_share 2.24 ≈ 2.27/2.81/3.63 (per_share)
EV / Gross Profit: $3.79 to $14.14 (midpoint $6.48)
Values the business at a peer multiple of gross profit — useful where reported operating costs vary a lot across peers but gross economics are comparable.
- How it’s calculated
- We take last-twelve-month gross profit (revenue minus the direct cost of the goods or services sold), multiply it by the peer range of EV/Gross-Profit multiples, subtract net debt and any minority interests or preferred stock ranking ahead of common shareholders, and divide by shares outstanding.
- Why it fits this industry
- Gross profit sits between revenue and operating earnings: it credits the margin a company's products earn while ignoring overhead and investment choices that legitimately differ across peers.

EV / Gross Profit = (1.88/3.46/7.96)× gross_profit 22,308,000 ≈ 41,978,812.40/77,256,177.47/177,602,137.87 (enterprise_value); enterprise_value -> per share: equity (49,589,812.40/84,867,177.47/185,213,137.87) / 13,100,234 shares [EV bridge: minus net debt -7,611,000]
EV / Revenue: $4.63 to $12.21 (midpoint $7.45)
Values the whole business at a peer multiple of sales — used when earnings are thin, volatile, or not yet meaningful, so revenue is the most reliable yardstick.
- How it’s calculated
- We multiply the company's last-twelve-month revenue by the range of EV/Revenue multiples its peer group trades at, subtract net debt and any minority interests or preferred stock ranking ahead of common shareholders, and divide by shares outstanding for a per-share range.
- Why it fits this industry
- When profits are thin, volatile, or still to come, revenue is the most dependable figure a company reports — this method values the business on the scale of what it actually sells.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. A pound of revenue is worth more at a high margin than a low one, so the peer group here is narrowed to companies earning a similar margin wherever enough of them exist. Where too few do, the bar falls back to the wider group and is the bluntest of the multiples — weigh it alongside the earnings-based bars.
EV / Revenue = (1.03/1.75/2.97)× revenue 51,352,000 ≈ 53,044,606.03/89,926,232.54/152,338,792.50 (enterprise_value); enterprise_value -> per share: equity (60,655,606.03/97,537,232.54/159,949,792.50) / 13,100,234 shares [EV bridge: minus net debt -7,611,000]
5 methods not shown
- EV / EBITDA: EBITDA is non-positive — an EBITDA multiple yields no meaningful enterprise value (loss-making at the EBITDA line)
- P / E: diluted EPS is non-positive — P/E is not meaningful for a loss-making period
- DCF (FCFF): base unlevered FCF is non-positive (-6,242,634.27) — nothing to discount; a standard FCFF DCF does not apply
- EV / EBITDA — mid-cycle: mid-cycle (5-year average) EBITDA is non-positive — the multiple is not meaningful across a cycle of losses
- P / E — mid-cycle: mid-cycle (5-year average) earnings are non-positive — P/E is not meaningful for a company that has lost money across the cycle
