CNBC is out today with its official NFL teams valuation list.
The top 10, in particular order:
Very precise numbers...
The estimations are calculated by using "a team’s revenue, profit and debt." Fair enough.
The Eagles, according to CNBC, are throwing off $669 million in revenue with an EBITDA of $138 million, and very little debt of only 3%.
The Rams, hilariously, and presumably thanks to that new stadium, have a debt-to-value ratio of 44%.The next highest team, perhaps not surprisingly for a leveraged buyout guy, is Josh Harris' Washington Commanders, at 17%.
Lurie purchased the Eagles in 1994 for $185 million, making his compounded annual rate of return 12.87%.
The stock market largely could be expected to return 7% per year.
So had he thrown the money into an ol' ETF, he'd have just $1.4 billion to show for it, albeit much more liquid than an NFL franchise. Compounding matters, folks.
