What is EVA?
“A GPS in the Stock Market Jungle”
EVA (Economic Value Added) is a measure that takes the Cost
of Capital out of the Net Operating Profit, in order to have a
real picture of the financial performance of a company, in
face of its shareholders.
EVA is an estimate of the true “Economic Profit”, or the
amount by which Net Operating Profit After Tax exceeds or
falls short of the required minimum rate of return that
shareholders and lenders could get by investing in other
securities of comparable risk.
''EVA © analysis is at the heart of understanding how companies create shareholder wealth.
Most importantly, it helps investors measure and understand those factors that create or
destroy value.'‘
Steven Einhorn, Global Investment Research, Goldman, Sachs & Co.
