medium · Investment Banking valuation-core
BankCorp is being valued by an analyst. Why is enterprise value often considered an inappropriate metric for this company?
- Because banks carry too much cash on their balance sheets for the formula to function.
- Because for a bank, debt and interest are operational in nature rather than purely financial.
- Because banks generally do not report EBITDA, a required input for the standard EV multiple.
- Because banks are prohibited from carrying noncontrolling interests under federal banking regulations.
