As far as your list goes I am more than happy without any proof of any kind to accept that those companies mentioned secondary tools for sub-analysis in published documents, as long as you show me how many of them used EBITDA as a method to try to value their company?
Well I must say, I may have misjudged. You are very magnanimous to accept my list, without proof of any kind. I dunno - I just used a search engine that is tailored to the finance world and scrapes all filings, press releases, analyst reports, news, etc. to get that list. A reminder - criteria were those companies with listings in Canada and the U.S. with market caps over $500 million who give an EBITDA number in their press release over the past year.
If if you would like proof, swing by my office. Too busy?
Well, other readers here - if you would like "proof" that I'm not making this list up, which Teflon2Hype is more than implying, call or shoot an email over. 416-573-8422, or krichards@national.ca
I will set up a WebEx to show you that there is proof.
And Teflon - given that it's very clear to anyone paying attention that EV/EBITDA is a very widely used valuation method on Bay Street, Wall Street, my street and your street - why are these companies giving EBITDA figures if not to help with that analysis?
Enjoy your evening Teflon. I hope your enjoyment comes from something more than bashing a very small portion - a minute portion - of the capital markets. I hope that for your sake, not mine.
