Eh maybe somebody can explain for me. This is surely just some aberration of using enterprise value as a metric for company health, while ignoring other important metrics, right?
Like the 'value' of the company, as described here, is partially based on market sentiment, but doesn't mean that the company is necessarily any less profitable or healthy than last year...? Surely many companies go in and out of having "zero value" just as a matter of course, in that case, given that shareprices could go down for reasons other than a decline in net profit, and cash assets could go down for reasons other than ill-health.
