Estimated value · 2025

Three simple methods

One method gives a figure: 2 MNOK.

MethodInputMultipleListed basisEstimate
P/E Net profit (mean 2023–2025): 0.0 MNOK 19.8 – not meaningful
EV/EBIT Operating profit (mean 2023–2025): 0.0 MNOK 16.2 – not meaningful
P/B Equity: 0.8 MNOK 3.3 3 MNOK 2 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 (56): Restaurant/Dining.
