EV/EBITDA multiple (enterprise value divided by EBITDA) for publicly traded US companies, "positive EBITDA firms" basis. This is the listed-company EBITDA multiple — private Main Street businesses normally transact well below these figures, and private companies without an owner-independent management team sit lower still. Use it as a directional upper bound, not a price.
Listed-company enterprise value ÷ EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) by industry — a ceiling reference, not a Main Street price. The EBITDA multiple shown is the publisher's EV/EBITDA figure for positive-EBITDA listed firms.
Counts of new business applications and projected formations. Context for how much future supply of sellable businesses is being created — these are counts, not sale multiples, and describe the whole US economy, not Concord activity.
