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. Hemp is an excellent example of the tremendous divergence in valuation ratios between the top 25% of companies and the bottom 25%. The median market-to-book ratio for the 46 company group is .59, but the range is enormous, with the lowest 25% at .05x and the highest 25% at 1.65x. The same is valid for revenue multiples with a median of 1.08x EV/annualized revenue but the lowest and highest quartile of .21x and 8.48x. Any attempt to base valuations in the sector on average metrics is doomed to failure.
