MArket cap 1.5 biilion US, DEbt 3.5 billion US, Est cashflow approx 400 million. Likely lower but we will us 400 million. That's 650 mill est 2016 ebitda minus 250 interest expense. 7.25 %x 3.5 billion.) Theerfore enterprise value 5 billion/ 400 mill cashflow equals 12.5 times enterprise value to cashflow. Not 5 times. That would mean if all of next years annualized cashflow went to pay down debt, it would take 12.5 years to pay off the debt. Also forgetting debt, 12.5 times casflow to enterprise value is not cheap  for such low growth.  Those using EPS when debt dwarfs market cap are trying to mislead you.

The spins you put on everything isn't fooling anybody! Stop trying to complicate things. $39.94 SP at end of yesterday. P/E=SP/EPS=39.94/8.97CAD=4.45x Actually less than 5. Go home drunk@noon. You're done. Not going to waste any more time bickering with a fool.

Depends on how you look at the company. Both of you are correct except using different metrics (captain obvious here). The company is in fact ~5x P/E and ~12.5x EV / EBTDA (or ~7.8x EV/EBITDA). My understanding is that most of these are looked at on P/E basis (I believe) or EV/EBITDA. The debt is an issue but given management's history of solid earnings, I think that concern will quickly
