Hello,
I have this sentence when viewing a valuation report. It says,
This can be done either by using a discounted cash flow approach or by applying a multiple derived from the market to a maintainable profit figure.
Somehow, I feel "multiple" is better changed to "multiplier"? Am I right or right?
Is it possible that the world "multiple" here is misused?
I find an explanation of the two words' difference.
"
Multiplier is a related term of multiple.
As nouns the difference between multiplier and multiple
is thatmultiplier is (arithmetic) a number by which another (the multiplicand) is to be multiplied while multiple is (mathematics) a number that may be divided by another number with no remainder. "
From the context, I think "multiplier" fits here better? Am I right? Besides, in this report, the writer repeatively used this word "multiple" in similar usages.
