medium · Investment Banking implied-share-price

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 always be identical figures in this case because cash and debt simply cancel out entirely.
  3. The share price will always be lower than the implied Enterprise Value per share, since holding cash is treated as an operating drag.
  4. The Enterprise Value figure must always turn negative in this scenario in order to fully account for the company's excess cash position on hand.
