Historical valuation multiples

How have EV/EBITDA and P/FCF changed over the last 5 years?

Annual fiscal-period anchored: month-end prices are paired with the most recent annual fiscal period ending on or before each date, covering the last 5 years (41 monthly samples). Multiples are research references; financial-sector or otherwise non-comparable companies require sector-specific context.

Valuation overview

How do the valuation assumptions fit together?

Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) valuation on TickerVal is designed to help readers understand the operating expectations embedded in the current market price. At 46.07 USD, the page brings intrinsic value analysis, DCF outputs, reverse DCF implied growth, EV/EBITDA, P/FCF, and valuation assumptions into one research view within the Healthcare sector and the Drug Manufacturers - General industry. Instead of treating one model as a final answer, TickerVal compares cash-flow, earnings-power, balance-sheet, and relative-multiple lenses so the differences between models are visible. The reverse DCF view currently shows implied growth of 5.7%, while the model median reference sits at +47.1% versus the current price. The DCF and reverse DCF sections focus on free cash flow, discount rate, terminal growth, and the long-term growth path implied by the current price. EV/EBITDA and P/FCF provide additional context for capital structure and cash-flow multiples. The financial trends section connects those valuation assumptions back to reported revenue of 49B USD, free cash flow of 5B USD, margins, and balance-sheet facts from public filings. Readers can use the layout to compare assumptions across models before reviewing the underlying source data. This page is intended for transparent research reference, model review, and assumption checking.

Why do valuation models give different answers?

Different models rely on different financial facts. The status blocks show which lenses fit this page data.
