How each method works

EV / Revenue: $1.57 to $7.15 (midpoint $4.94)

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 = (0.72/1.07/1.30)× revenue 2,882,500,000 ≈ 2,086,789,727.95/3,089,043,759.75/3,747,472,159.57 (enterprise_value); enterprise_value -> per share: equity (468,289,727.95/1,470,543,759.75/2,128,972,159.57) / 297,559,680 shares [EV bridge: minus net debt 1,476,400,000, minus minority interest & preferred 142,100,000]

5 methods not shown

• EV / EBITDA: the market prices this company far outside its sector's EV / EBITDA range (its own multiple is 34.78 vs a sector band of 6.11–10.36) — 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
• P / B: book value per share is non-positive (negative common equity) — P/B is not meaningful
• DCF (FCFF): base unlevered FCF is non-positive (-481,747,860.59) — nothing to discount; a standard FCFF DCF does not apply
