Is the liquidity of shares a matter for a valuation by multiples?
Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your contribution to solve my doubt, the answer is this: Does the liquidity of shares could be consider as a factor in a valuation by multiples? if so, why? how does the liquidity ( which moves according to the supply/demand of investors could be a matter for a multiple like EV/EBITDA)
There is sthg called the "liquidity discount", meaning that less liquid shares should trade at a discount (as compared to more liquid shares), cause in case you wanna sell quickly you might need to give a price concession to do so.
There are studies and option pricing alternatives to calculate the liquidity discount that are useless IMHO. Best way is for each investor to apply the discount (lower multiple) you feel comfortable with (based on experience, future strategy, view on the market, etc.)
Just my 2 cents
