Benchmarks

Valuation multiples by industry

Ranges rather than single figures, because private businesses in the same sector routinely trade several turns apart. Each range is an indicative estimate, and each row shows how many internal estimates sit behind it and when it was last reviewed. Each industry page sets it beside the recorded transactions where the archive has them.
