Cia Paranaense De Energia Copel is mainly involved in the production of electricity in the Brazilian state of Paraná. Specifically, the company's operating segments include power generation and transmission, gas, power distribution, energy sales, and telecommunications. Most of the company's revenue comes from the sale of electricity. It generates electricity from renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric, wind and thermal power plants. The company was designed to allow Paraná to manage energy distribution and related services, so the State is the majority shareholder.
The enterprise value-to-revenue multiple (EV/R) is a measure of the value of a stock that compares a company's enterprise value to its revenue. EV/R is one of several fundamental indicators that investors use to determine whether a stock is priced fairly. The EV/R multiple is also often used to determine a company's valuation in the case of a potential acquisition. It's also called the enterprise value-to-sales multiple.
The enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio (EV/EBITDA) compares the value of a company—debt included—to the company's cash earnings less non-cash expenses. It's best to use the EV/EBITDA metric when comparing companies within the same industry or sector. Typically, when evaluating a company, an EV/EBITDA value below 10 is seen as healthy.
It follows the same logic as the EV/EBITDA indicator, but instead of EBITDA, EBIT is used, which considers non-cash D&A expenses in the company's operating result.
