A technique for valuing stocks by making an assumption about the sustainability of current earnings and the cost of capital but assuming no further growth.

Investopedia explains 'Earnings Power Value - EPV'

EPV was developed by Columbia University Professor Bruce Greenwald. One of the ways that it helps investors evaluate the intrinsic value of a position is by removing the difficulties of other evaluation formulas. However, that can mean that EPV is less accurate than other, more thorough methods. EPV does give a clear look at a company's present situation though.
