What the stock market pays, and what you will
Reported enterprise value to EBITDA multiples, margins and growth rates for publicly traded (stock market listed) companies in fire and life safety, testing and inspection, building services and facilities management, water and waste, and healthcare services.
Publicly traded companies covered include
Companies are selected by activity, not by index membership: a company appears in a sector only where the relevant discipline is a material part of what it does. Every figure is taken from a published annual report, interim statement, regulatory filing or market data record, cited against the individual company and stated as at the date it was captured. Where a company does not report a figure, the cell is left empty rather than estimated.
. Where the two ever disagree, the guides are the authority on private pricing.
We do not offer a view on any publicly traded company or its shares. Where interpretation of the stock market appears, it is quoted from a named third party with a link to the source.

What these companies are, in plain English
Every company on this page is
: its shares are bought and sold on a stock exchange such as the London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. Anyone can buy a share, and the law requires these companies to publish their revenue, profit and debt in full. That is why we can show what buyers pay for them.
: the shares are held by you and perhaps a few others, and nothing has to be published beyond your filed accounts. Private companies sell for less than publicly traded ones of the same type, because a buyer cannot sell the shares on again at the click of a button and carries more risk in checking the numbers. Treat the figures here as the ceiling the market sets, not the price your business would fetch.
