Multiple

Multiple is a valuation metric used in M&A to compare a company’s financial performance – typically EBITDA, revenue, or net income – against its enterprise or equity value. Commonly expressed as a ratio (e.g. EV/EBITDA), multiples provide a quick benchmark for assessing valuation relative to peers, past transactions, or market standards. They reflect investor expectations, growth prospects, risk, and industry dynamics, and are central to pricing, negotiations, and value justification in M&A deals.
