Stop Overpaying for Stocks: Build This EV/EBITDA Screener in 5 Minutes
Valuation doesn't have to require a Bloomberg terminal. If you're a retail investor, you can screen 30 stocks for EV/EBITDA in a spreadsheet — and know which ones are overvalued at a glance.
What is EV/EBITDA?
Enterprise Value to EBITDA tells you how many years of earnings it would take to buy the whole company (debt included). Lower is cheaper — within its sector.
The Problem
Most free screeners only show P/E. EV/EBITDA is more accurate for comparing companies with different debt levels. But finding a simple template? Hard.
The Solution
I built a Google Sheets template that does the math for you:
- Enterprise Value = Market Cap + Total Debt - Cash
- EBITDA = Net Income + Interest + Taxes + D&A
- Auto color-coding: Green = undervalued, Red = overvalued (vs sector median)
- 30-row portfolio tracker with ranking
How to Use It
- Grab the template (link at the end)
- Pull data from Yahoo Finance or enter manually
- Watch the signals tell you which stocks to dig into
Sample Data
Pre-filled with AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, TSLA so you can see it working instantly.
