Overview
Telematics and connected vehicle businesses typically trade at 4×–8× EBITDA. Recurring subscription income from fleet operator clients, data-driven insurance integration, and EV fleet management capability support premium valuations. OEM-embedded telematics solutions bypassing third-party providers is the most significant structural risk. The transition to autonomous vehicles creates both opportunity and disruption.
