Enterprise Value (EV) is a measure of a company’s total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. It definesthe value of a company as the sum of all its assets, including debt and equity, and is typically calculated by adding up a company’s debt, minority interest, preferred shares, and market capitalization. Equity Value (EV), also commonly referred to as “shareholder value,” represents the value attributable to shareholders of a company who own common stock. Equity Value is typically calculated by subtracting a company’s outstanding debt from the sumof its current asset values, with the resulting figure representing the owner’s net worth, or the amount which could be potentially received by shareholders in an acquisition transaction.
