Estimate enterprise value from market capitalization, debt, cash, and optional adjustments.

Result

$975,000,000

Estimated enterprise value based on market capitalization plus debt and optional adjustments, minus cash.

Enterprise value$975,000,000

Total debt counted$220,000,000

Cash deducted$95,000,000

Optional adjustments$0

Formula summaryMarket cap + debt + adjustments - cash

$850,000,000 of market capitalization plus $220,000,000 of debt and $0 of optional adjustments minus $95,000,000 of cash gives an enterprise-value estimate near $975,000,000.
Preferred stock and minority interest are left at zero here, so the estimate uses the basic market-cap-plus-debt-minus-cash view.
Use the result as a planning estimate only, because balance-sheet definitions and valuation adjustments can vary by company and analysis style.

This is a simplified valuation estimate, not investing advice. Real enterprise-value analysis can vary with how debt, cash, preferred stock, minority interest, and other adjustments are defined.

FAQ

Common questions

How is enterprise value calculated here?

The calculator adds market capitalization, total debt, and any optional preferred-stock or minority-interest adjustments, then subtracts cash and cash equivalents.

Why subtract cash?

Cash is commonly deducted in simplified enterprise-value math because it reduces the net cost implied by the broader business-value estimate.

Why is this only a simplified estimate?

Debt definitions, cash treatment, minority-interest handling, and other adjustments can vary by company and by analysis style.
