Investopedia explains 'Earnings Multiplier'

The earnings multiplier is similar to a discounted cash flow in that future earnings are rolled back to determine how much they are worth in today's dollars. Investors use the earnings multiplier to figure out how much a company is worth, today, based on how it is expected to grow in the future.
