VOD EV/EBITDA Analysis

EV/EBITDA is a valuation ratio that compares a company’s total enterprise value — its market value plus debt minus cash — to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or operating profit.

At 13.3x, VOD is priced just under the sector median of 13.5x, placing it at the 48th percentile among peers, meaning nearly half of comparable companies trade cheaper and half trade more expensive. The trend has been stable over the last 8 quarters, with a year-over-year increase of +3.6% and a quarter-over-quarter increase of +1.7%. This combination of a near-median valuation and a flat trajectory suggests limited upside from a re-rating and no apparent valuation cushion. The stable, average-level multiple does not highlight an obvious bargain or a clear danger, but it also offers little margin of safety. This directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict: the metric shows no compelling reason to be more positive, yet it does not contradict caution because the valuation is not stretched enough to justify a bearish call on its own.
