Intro to Investments
Enterprise value (EV) is a financial metric that reflects the total value of a company, representing the theoretical takeover price if the company were to be acquired. It includes not just the market capitalization of a company's equity but also the debt and excludes cash and cash equivalents. This comprehensive approach makes EV a key figure when comparing companies for valuation purposes, especially when using price multiples and other valuation techniques.
