Deep Analysis
An EV/EBITDA of -70.8x means the company’s enterprise value (market value plus debt minus cash) is -70.8 times its EBITDA, which is negative because EBITDA itself is negative — indicating the company is currently losing money before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Compared to sector peers, this sits far below the median of 13.5x, placing BA at the 2th percentile, meaning almost all peers have a higher (positive) multiple. The metric has been stable over the last eight quarters, with a quarter-over-quarter change of +3.8% and no year-over-year change available; the recent values (-70.8x, -73.6x, -68.9x) show minor fluctuation rather than a clear shift. This level and trend suggest ongoing operating losses that are not worsening sharply, but also no improvement toward profitability — creating elevated risk if EBITDA stays negative, while the stability reduces near-term downside surprise. The negative multiple makes standard valuation comparison impossible, yet the stable path tempers panic. This evidence supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the combination of a deeply negative level and stable trend offers neither a clear buying opportunity nor a fresh red flag.
