EV/EBIT History Chart
See any stock's 10-year EV/EBIT history with color-coded valuation zones and sector median overlay. Auto-populates from Yahoo Finance. Use alongside the EV/EBIT calculator and EV/EBITDA history chart for full context.
EV/EBIT is the enterprise multiple on post-D&A operating profit — it bridges EV/EBITDA (which ignores capex) and P/E (which ignores leverage), making it the preferred multiple for asset-heavy businesses where depreciation is a real economic cost.Unlike EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT includes depreciation and amortization, so it penalizes capital-intensive businesses that require heavy reinvestment. A 10-year EV/EBIT trend reveals whether today's multiple is expensive or cheap relative to the company's own history. Bars below 10x signal cheap; 10–20x is fair value territory; above 20x reflects growth or scarcity premiums. Not meaningful for financial companies, where operating income is not a clean proxy for economic earnings.
How to Read EV/EBIT History
EV/EBIT compares a company's enterprise value — market cap plus net debt — to its trailing annual operating income (EBIT). Unlike EV/EBITDA, it includes depreciation and amortization, making it a stricter test for capital-intensive businesses where D&A is a real economic cost, not just an accounting entry.
A stock's current EV/EBIT tells you today's implied multiple. Its 10-year history tells you whether the market is paying a premium or a discount relative to what it has historically demanded for the same business. Bars below 10× are highlighted green (cheap); 10–20× blue (fair); above 20× red (expensive). The orange dashed line shows the sector median as a market-context anchor.
Two caveats: EV/EBIT is not meaningful for financial companies (banks, insurers) because operating income is not a clean proxy for economic earnings. Companies with negative EBIT — early-stage businesses or cyclical companies at a trough — will also show distorted or missing readings. Always pair historical context with a full valuation model via the EV/EBIT Calculator.
The threshold of 10× is a rough boundary for "cheap" in most non-financial sectors, while 20× tends to reflect growth or scarcity premiums. Capital-intensive sectors like energy and materials routinely trade at 8–14× at cycle peaks; asset-light technology and software names can sustain 25–40× on durable moats. Context from the sector median line matters as much as the absolute level.
