Valuation Multiples for Manufacturing & Industrial Businesses
Valuation multiples are widely used to gauge the market value of manufacturing and industrial companies, with SDE multiples (≈2.7×–3.5×) typical for smaller owner-operated shops and EBITDA multiples (≈3.5×–9.0×) applied to larger firms with more institutional buyers. Revenue multiples (≈0.7×) serve as a secondary benchmark when margins are inconsistent, with final values influenced by operational efficiency, customer diversification, and overall cash-flow stability.
