EBITDA measures profitability through earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is used as an indicator for measuring its success. Nikola is on an upward growth path with anticipated sales growth and positive EBITDA projected over time, but investors should exercise caution when making investment decisions and take into account other factors like competition, market trends and financial security before making any definitive calls about investments in Nikola.
