If a company has 'Negative Net Debt' (Excess Cash), how does the implied share price relate to the Enterprise Value if we ignore NCI and Preferred stock?

  1. The Equity Value will be higher than the Enterprise Value, leading to a share price that reflects both operating value and the cash 'premium'.
  2. Enterprise Value and Equity Value will be identical because cash and debt cancel each other out in the market's eyes.
  3. The share price will always be lower than the EV per share because cash is an operating drag.
  4. The Enterprise Value must be negative to account for the excess cash.
