Three perspectives

Peter Lynch

Lynch använde EV/Sales förenklat och menade att 'köp bra bolag till rimligt pris' räcker. Han ogillade överdriven precision i värdering.

Benjamin Graham

Graham utvecklade själv EV/Sales och betonade dess vikt. Han krävde dock alltid 'margin of safety' utöver beräknat värde.

AK1A's interpretation

AKM1 använder EV/Sales som en av flera värderingsmetoder i V04–V06. Värdering baserad på omsättning, ej vinst integreras med andra variabler för helhetsbild.
