Abstract
The papers analyzes economic multiple evolution and volatility over ten years. Specifically, the paper investigates the evolution of EV/EBITDA and EV/EBIT multiples value in the period 2005-2015 and demonstrates that: (a) EV/EBITDA and EV/EBIT multiples present an appreciable level of volatility from year to year; (b) EV/EBIT multiple presents a standard deviation higher than that of the EV/EBITDA and (b) EV/EBITDA multiple presents a linear correlation with the beta risk coefficient higher than that of the EV/EBIT. The analysis concerns multiples that refer to the North American market, as it constitutes a relatively homogeneous context from regulatory and GAAP-application points of view, and a reliable and comprehensive time series is available. multiples do not refer to specific companies, but to average sector values, as identified by Bloomberg and Datastream.
