Can a hospital be valued on the number of beds it owns? In some sectors, that's exactly where analysts start. While P/E, EV/EBITDA, and P/B remain the most commonly used valuation multiples, certain industries are often analyzed using sector-specific operating metrics. For example, telecom companies may be viewed on EV per subscriber, hospitals on EV per bed, airlines on EV per passenger, and retailers on EV per square foot. These metrics are not a replacement for traditional valuation methods, but they can provide additional context around scale, capacity, and operating economics.
