Multiple (finance)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Multiple in financial terminology is a metric used in valuation of companies. The most commonly used multiples are: P/E (Price earnings ratio), EV/EBITDA (Enterprise value to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization).

In some industries, sector-specific multiples are also used, such as EV/capacity, EV/output.
