How each method works
EV / Revenue: $0.00 to $15.95 (midpoint $4.18)
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 = (0.51/0.84/1.28)× revenue 9,993,000,000 ≈ 5,050,204,174.15/8,344,323,827.35/12,780,789,610.78 (enterprise_value); enterprise_value -> per share: equity (0/1,577,323,827.35/6,013,789,610.78) / 377,000,000 shares [EV bridge: minus net debt 6,767,000,000]
P / B: $3.86 to $6.37 (midpoint $4.35)
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 = (1.09/1.23/1.80)× book_value_per_share 3.55 ≈ 3.86/4.35/6.37 (per_share)
4 methods not shown
- EV / EBITDA: the market prices this company far outside its sector's EV / EBITDA range (its own multiple is 68.19 vs a sector band of 5.35–9.54) — a sector-average bar would be misleading here, so it is withheld
- EV / Gross Profit: gross_profit unavailable — cannot form EV / Gross Profit
- 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 (-1,336,785,637.68) — nothing to discount; a standard FCFF DCF does not apply
Limited data — fewer than three valuation methods could be formed for this company; showing every method we can stand behind.
Debt is most of what funds this company — its shares are about 14% of its total enterprise value. The enterprise-value bar here (1) value the whole business and then subtract the debt, so a small difference in the business's value becomes a large one per share. That is arithmetic, not a fault in the estimate, but it is why those ranges are wide.
