Question 1

What is V.F.'s EV/EBITDA ratio?

Accepted Answer

V.F. (VFC) EV/EBITDA ratio is 12.9× as of June 5, 2026. The ratio is calculated by dividing enterprise value by trailing twelve-month EBITDA, using USD-normalised financials (IAS 21 exchange-rate translation for non-USD reporters).

Question 2

How is the EV/EBITDA ratio calculated?

Accepted Answer

EV/EBITDA = Enterprise Value ÷ Trailing Twelve-Month (TTM) EBITDA, where Enterprise Value = Market Capitalisation + Total Debt − Cash & Short-Term Investments. All inputs are sourced from audited GAAP/IFRS filings and translated to USD using period-end exchange rates so the multiple is comparable across companies and currencies.

Question 3

What is the EV/EBITDA ratio?

Accepted Answer

The EV/EBITDA ratio (the enterprise multiple) compares enterprise value (EV) to trailing twelve-month (TTM) EBITDA. EV is calculated as market capitalisation + total debt − cash & short-term investments. Because EV/EBITDA is capital-structure-neutral and ignores non-cash depreciation and amortisation, it is the standard multiple used in M&A and for cross-company or cross-border comparisons. Note: this calculation uses a simplified EV (minority interest and preferred equity excluded due to data availability), consistent with most public financial-data providers.

Question 4

What is a good EV/EBITDA ratio for V.F.?

Accepted Answer

Mature, cash-generative businesses commonly trade in the 8–12× EV/EBITDA range; higher-growth, asset-light companies often trade at 15–25×+. EV/EBITDA is most useful for comparing companies with different capital structures (debt levels) or tax regimes. For V.F. specifically, the relevant sector benchmark is the current sector median of 14.3×.

Question 5

Is V.F.'s EV/EBITDA ratio high or low?

Accepted Answer

V.F.'s EV/EBITDA ratio of 12.9× is below its own 5-year average of 16.1× and below the sector median of 14.3×. That places the current reading at the 44th percentile of its 10-year history. A higher multiple usually reflects stronger expected growth, lower perceived risk, or higher returns on capital; a lower multiple reflects the opposite.

Question 6

What is V.F.'s historical EV/EBITDA ratio range?

Accepted Answer

In the available daily series, V.F. (VFC) EV/EBITDA ratio has ranged from a low of 5.4× in 2003 to a high of 42.0× in 2020. The 5-year average is 16.1× and the 5-year median is 15.2×.

Question 7

What was V.F.'s EV/EBITDA ratio in 2026?

Accepted Answer

V.F. (VFC) EV/EBITDA ratio at the end of 2026 was 12.8×. Annual values reflect the multiple on the last trading day of each calendar year, using the trailing twelve-month EBITDA figure available at that date.

Question 8

Why does V.F.'s EV/EBITDA ratio change over time?

Accepted Answer

Valuation multiples move with two inputs: the numerator (enterprise value, which tracks share price plus net debt) and the denominator (EBITDA). Share-price changes — driven by interest rates, earnings expectations, risk appetite, and broader market sentiment — typically dominate short-term moves, while changes in the underlying fundamental drive the longer-term trend. As a result, the ratio can rise during stock-price rallies even if the business itself has not become more valuable, and fall during sell-offs even when fundamentals are improving.
