Hi, my name is Forrest...

Between sinus headaches and working 17 hour days this week, I don't even know where my friggin' mind is.

Doh. It's a typo. EV/FCF, enterprise value/free cash flow. Sort of a reduction of a dcf valuation to a fraction. Enterprise value is Market cap plus net debt (market value of debt minus market value of cash and marketable securities).

I can't believe that people leave here and don't even come back sometimes. Unless the're like Roland and lost a bunch of economic forecasting bets, so they can't show their face.

Saras...

Is that a common ratio? It's not something that one sees here much in the states, even in the Wall Street Journal. What's the purpose of such a valuation?

I'm also assuming that "net debt" is typically (not always, though) a negative number.

Thanks!

It's common enough in M&A and equity analyst reports. It's really useful as a sort of crude, quickie discounted cashflow valuation.

Net debt is usually a positive number - who in their right mind would keep deposits at say LIBID minus something when they could repay their debt which costs them LIBOR + something?
