comps: {name} must be a finite number, got {value!r}

Error message

comps: {name} must be a finite number, got {value!r}

What it means

Optional EV-bridge components (minority_interest, preferred_stock, investments_in_associates) may be None (and are then reported as omitted), but if supplied they must be finite numbers. Supplying NaN/inf for one of them fails here so the bridge total cannot be corrupted.

Solutions

1. Map missing optional components to None rather than NaN before calling the bridge.
2. If you have a sourced value, ensure it is a plain finite float.
3. Sanitize: {k: (v if v is not None and math.isfinite(v) else None) for k, v in components.items()}.

Example fix

# before
minority_interest = row['minority_interest']  # NaN

# after
minority_interest = row['minority_interest'] if row['minority_interest'] is not None and math.isfinite(row['minority_interest']) else None

components = {k: (v if v is not None and math.isfinite(v) else None)
               for k, v in raw_components.items()}

def finite_or_none(v):
    return None if v is None else (float(v) if math.isfinite(v) else None)

except ValuationError as e:
    if 'must be a finite number' in str(e):
        # fall back to omitting the component
        ev = enterprise_value(market_cap, total_debt, cash, minority_interest=None)

When it happens

Trigger: Passing minority_interest=float('nan') (etc.) to enterprise_value or equity_value_from_enterprise_value instead of leaving it None or giving a finite value.

Common situations: Uniformly filling optional fields from a dict of extracted financials where some values are NaN, instead of mapping NaN -> None.
