Your task

Produce a valuation range. Provide:

  1. Analysis — which comparables you would use and why, and the resulting enterprise and equity values.
  2. Risks — where this methodology could mislead.
  3. Recommendation — your valuation range and the number you would take to the seller.

Critique the banker's proposed approach.

Hint
Reveal suggested structure
  1. Screen the peers on growth, margin and risk — not sector label alone.
  2. Apply the defensible multiple range to EBITDA to get enterprise value.
  3. Bridge to equity value: EV − net debt.
  4. Adjust for size, growth differential and marketability.
  5. Cross-check with EV/Revenue.
  6. Present a range, and say where in it you would settle.
