The Viridian Value Tracker is the most comprehensive valuation product in the industry.
Our sector trackers include ratios applicable to value companies with no analyst coverage and the more typical EV/ Revenues and EV/ EBITDA measures. For each valuation measure, we present the values for the lowest 25% of companies, the median, and the highest 25%. This gives investors a better understanding of the spread of values than a simple average, often presented but frequently seriously flawed by outliers. The Infused Products and Extracts sector has the lowest median market-to-book ratio of the twelve sectors we track at -0.77x. This indicates that over ½ of the 18 companies have negative book equity. The projected 2023 EBITDA is negative for even the highest quartile, making this metric unusable for valuation. The spread in measures of EV/ annualized revenues is extreme, ranging from .94x for the lowest quartile to 11x for the highest quartile. Interestingly, a sector with such poor balance sheets and negative EBITDA can still trade at reasonably large revenue multiples.
