Synopsis:
The list of companies in the articles covers those companies that have a high EV/EBITDA multiple.

EV/EBITDA is a key valuation metric that indicates how fairly a company is priced in relation to its operating earnings. Unlike the P/E ratio, it factors in both debt and equity, making it useful for comparing companies with different financial structures. A lower ratio often points to undervaluation, while a higher one suggests the stock may be expensive.
