EV/EBITDA against EBITDA Margin for Tech companies

EV/EBITDA against EBITDA Margin % can provide insight into a company's valuation, operational efficiency, and market perception. 

EV/EBITDA is used to compare the value of a company, including debt, to its cash earnings minus non-cash expenses.

EBITDA Margin % shows how much of each dollar of revenue is converted into EBITDA, which indicates operational efficiency and profitability.

High EV/EBITDA with High EBITDA Margin: This suggests a company is both profitable and highly valued by the market, potentially due to strong growth prospects or market dominance. 

High EV/EBITDA with Low EBITDA Margin: Could imply that the market is betting on future improvements or growth, despite current inefficiencies or lower profitability. $NVDA, $AMD

Low EV/EBITDA with High EBITDA Margin: Might indicate an undervalued company with good operational efficiency but possibly overlooked by the market, or it could reflect concerns about future growth or industry downturns. $AVGO, $TXN

Low EV/EBITDA with Low EBITDA Margin: This suggests a company that's both undervalued and operationally inefficient, potentially a distressed asset or one in a declining industry. $INTC, $ACN

This comparison can guide investment decisions:

Value Investing: Look for low EV/EBITDA companies with improving or already high EBITDA margins as potential undervalued opportunities. $QCOM, $CSCO, $AMAT, $LRCX, $NXPI, $AAPL.

Growth Investing: High EV/EBITDA might be justified if coupled with improving EBITDA margins, signaling operational leverage and growth. $CDNS, $ADBE.
