What is EV/Sales Ratio?
EV/Sales (Enterprise Value to Sales) measures a company's total value relative to its revenue. It's particularly useful for valuing high-growth or unprofitable companies where earnings-based metrics don't apply.
Understanding EV/Sales
Enterprise Value (EV) = Market Cap + Total Debt - Cash
Sales = Total Revenue (TTM)
EV/Sales is useful because:
- It works for unprofitable companies where P/E doesn't apply
- Revenue is harder to manipulate than earnings
- It's good for comparing companies at different profitability stages
- Useful for high-growth tech and SaaS companies
Note: Lower EV/Sales isn't always better. High-margin businesses deserve higher multiples.
