The Automotive Division acts as a supplier to the heavy automotive market, producing cast iron, machined and assembled components for manufacturers of trucks, agricultural and construction machines, and serves the aftermarket with brake system parts. The Compressors Division manufactures a complete portfolio of air compressors for residential, professional and industrial use, as well as compressed air treatment equipment and industrial gas solutions, such as biomethane generation. The company is based in Brazil and serves both domestic and foreign markets, exporting to over 70 countries and maintaining business and logistics operations in the United States and China. Its growth strategy is based on product and market diversification, focusing on innovation and technology.
Market capitalization, or "market cap", is the aggregate market value of a company represented in a dollar amount. Since it represents the “market” value of a company, it is computed based on the current market price (CMP) of its shares and the total number of outstanding shares.
Enterprise value (EV) measures a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. EV includes in its calculation the market capitalization of a company but also short-term and long-term debt and any cash or cash equivalents on the company's balance sheet.
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.
