Fundamental Analysis of FAAMG
Some key metrics of the 5 companies shared in this video:
EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization) is a measure of company profitability used by investors. It is helpful for comparison of one company to another in the same line of business. In some cases, it also can provide a more accurate view of the company’s real performance over time.
EV (Enterprise Value) is the total value of a company, defined in terms of its financing. It includes both the current share price (market capitalization) and the cost to pay off debt (net debt, or debt minus cash).
EBITDA measures a company’s overall financial performance and profitability while EV calculates a company’s total value or assessed worth.
The EV/EBITDA metric is a popular valuation tool tool to compare the value of a company, debt included, to the company’s cash earnings less non-cash expenses. It’s ideal for analysts and investors looking to compare companies within the same industry.
