7x businesses that are $15m EBITDA

by a searcher from Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Hello,

I was going through a mental exercise and I was curious to gauge the community’s thoughts. I know sub-$5m companies would go for 5-7x EBITDA. I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on industries (with companies greater than $15m EBITDA) that are valued at 6-9x EBITDA with good market fundamentals. What are the best industries that come to mind with those parameters?

Numbers alone are not multiple deciders. Period. On top of that your assumptions are not industry' current standards. Redundant data.

Your numbers seem a little rich. Multiples have deflated 30-50% in the past year.
