Behavioral Health EBITDA Multiples
The mid-point EBITDA mutliple from the reported range of 13.5x is above average for behavioral health platforms of Embark's size, indicating that private behavioral health valuations may not have declined significantly yet despite headwinds from higher interest rates.
