Enterprise value / Revenue / Gross margin [robust]
The Problem with EV / Revenue
Standard valuation metrics like EV/Revenue can be misleading for high-growth companies. While investors frequently use it to value SaaS or Tech stocks, it ignores the critical role of Gross Margins.
How It Works (The Math)
Instead of viewing two separate charts, this indicator calculates a single efficiency ratio:
Ratio = Enterprise Value / Gross Profit
How to Use It
Use this to find fair value in high-growth stocks where traditional P/E ratios are not yet useful.
Value Zone (< 10x): Marked by a Green Dashed Line. The stock is potentially undervalued relative to its gross profit generation.
Premium Zone (> 20x): Marked by a Red Dashed Line. The stock is trading at a premium. This is common for hyper-growth leaders but implies high future expectations.
Key Features
Crash Proof: Uses raw ENTERPRISE_VALUE and GROSS_PROFIT data with error handling to prevent "Symbol Resolve" errors common with other custom scripts.
Quarterly Steps: Plots data in distinct quarterly steps rather than a noisy daily line, providing a clear fundamental view.
Visual Valuation Zones: Built-in horizontal lines at 10x and 20x to frame the valuation context instantly.
