Enterprise Value per Subscriber
* With high growth startups taking a beating over the last year, premiums investors have put on valuations for subscriber growth have shown their cracks
* High flyers like Rent the Runway $RENT , Hims $HIMS , and Bark $BARK , saw their EV “dollar amount” per subscriber crater 85%, 89%, and 90% respectively since they went public
* Seeing the difference between these two dates shows just how euphoric the market was during peak COVID
* When looking at other subscription service stocks, it’s best to use this metric to sense check how much investors are placing on each subscriber for how much they actually charge
* Introducing you to this metric can also help you get creative with other metrics in other industries where similar KPIs exist
