Three simple methods
The methods give between 17 MNOK and 29 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 12.6 | 29 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | – | not used in the sector |
| P/B | 1.7 | 17 MNOK |
The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 4% on the cost of equity gives a value 38% lower. No separate marketability discount is applied, because the premium already allows for the company being small and unlisted.
The multiples are from the listed industry that matches the NACE code (66.3): Investments & Asset Management.
