The drivers that move the number in this trade specifically are in the full Sign Companies guide. The picker holds every trade whose cited band is a multiple of one earnings figure; the 13 priced on cap rates, collections, revenue or two bases at once are named with their reasons rather than left out silently. Every cited band, with its drivers and source, is listed below on this page.
What Moves the Multiple
EBITDA bands run 3.5x to 4.7x and revenue 0.45x to 0.70x; the share of recurring service and maintenance revenue over one-time fabrication, national-account contracts, and equipment currency decide where a shop lands.
