WideOpenWest Financial Ratios 2024-2011 | WOW

Brief overview of WideOpenWest's multiples and efficiency

Current figures are compared with the company's own five-year history for 2019–2024.

The current valuation set is P/E 2x (median 10.09x), EV/EBITDA 5.77x (median 7.09x), P/S 0.36x (median 1.19x). The current ratio basket stands about 69.3% below the five-year comparison base. Earnings and risk trends should explain the discount.

The inverse P/E implies an earnings yield of 50.1%. This is not a dividend yield, but current earnings relative to market price.

The latest available business-quality ratios are ROE -28.2%, ROA -3.9%, ROCE 3.1%. Losses and negative capital returns make ordinary P/E-like references unstable or inapplicable.

The cash conversion cycle decreased 44.7 days to -51.8 days, supporting working-capital efficiency.

Valuation takeaway

WideOpenWest's valuation is lower, but weak quality metrics call for caution. Recovery in earnings and capital returns is the key catalyst.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company WideOpenWest, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
