Enterprise value
Fundamental analysisMarket capitalisation plus total debt minus cash — the cost of acquiring the whole business.
In plain terms
What you would actually pay, including the debt you inherit.
Every term is defined twice: once the way a filing would put it, and once the way somebody would explain it to you across a table. The second one is usually the one that sticks.

Market capitalisation plus total debt minus cash — the cost of acquiring the whole business.
What you would actually pay, including the debt you inherit.
Enterprise value divided by installed capacity in tonnes a year.
Compared with the cost of building new capacity and with acquisition prices. It ignores profitability, so pair it with EV/EBITDA.
Enterprise value divided by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
The only common multiple that accounts for debt. Use it whenever leverage differs.
