Talk:EV/Ebitda

A couple of points here, people!

1. "An advantage is that, as its numerator EV (Enterprise Value)includes the value of debt as well as equity, it is unaffected by a company's capital structure. Another one, for international comparisons for example, is that its denominator is not influenced by taxes."

Is it not also a problem with EV/EBITDA ratio that it does not take into account the capital structure?

2. "If some firms on the list have no debt and others carry significant amounts of debt, the latter will look cheap on a price to EBITDA basis, when in fact they might be over or correctly priced", Damodoran, Investment valuation.

I think that the paragraph 1 should be reformulated and include the risk associated with the different capital structure in the overall valuation.

Information on How to Determine

Should the article indicate what EV is defined as (Enterprise Value)? In addition, the article indicates that EBITDA is an acronym for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization. May the article go into more detail as to how an investor can find out this information for companies. Granted, I am pretty ignorant when it comes to stock investing -- but I haven't a clue how to find the Enterprise Value of a company. Even more pitiful, I do not know how or where to find the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. Without knowing how to look up these data elements for companies, the article may not provide the tools necessary for applying the helpful information.
