medium · Investment Banking implied-share-price

A company has $100 million of Preferred Stock with a 6% dividend.

When calculating Enterprise Value, why is this $100 million added to Equity Value?

  1. To match the EBITDA denominator, since it also includes preferred dividends in its calculation.
  2. Because it is technically treated as a form of long-term debt on the balance sheet.
  3. Because preferred dividends, like interest expense, are generally tax-deductible payments.
  4. Because it represents a claim on the company that sits senior to common equity holders.
