Sonic Automotive Company Current Valuation Analysis

Sonic Automotive's Enterprise Value is a firm valuation proxy that approximates the current market value of a company. It is typically used to determine the takeover or merger price of a firm. Unlike Market Cap, this measure takes into account the entire liquid asset, outstanding debt, and exotic equity instruments that the company has on its balance sheet. When a takeover occurs, the parent company will have to assume the target company's liabilities but will take possession of all cash and cash equivalents.

The market value of Sonic Automotive is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Sonic that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Sonic Automotive's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Sonic Automotive's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Sonic Automotive's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Sonic Automotive's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Please note, there is a significant difference between Sonic Automotive's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Sonic Automotive is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Sonic Automotive's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
