Capitalisation rate 12% result over 3 years earnings weight 50%

The filed figures and these assumptions give no positive value. The adjusted equity and the average result are both zero or negative.

Part of the calculation comes out below zero. A shareholding is never worth less than zero, so the floor is zero.

Limits of the indication

  • Checked holds no market prices or comparable transactions.
  • Anything after the latest accounts and items off the balance sheet (guarantees, leases, disputes) are left out.
  • Checked does not know the real value of buildings, stock and receivables. Enter your own revaluation or adjustment for it.
  • The owner's role in the business, synergies for a buyer and the tax consequences of a sale are left out.

For a valuation to base a decision on, go to a company auditor or a certified accountant.
