Model a deal

Historicals, precedents and a purchase price feed a DCF, comps and precedents, and an IRR-to-buyer read on the deal. Results update as you type. This scenario isn't saved to a link, so keep this tab open.

Typically 20-30% for a financial (PE-style) buyer, since they're paying for the return itself, not for a strategic fit a standalone DCF also can't see.

Historical actuals

Expected: 3 years of actuals, for credibility. Optional; the model still runs without them, flagged as indicative.

No historical periods added yet.

Comps (public trading comparables)

3-8 rows is typical. Once you add a row, it replaces the generic sector-median placeholder in your results.

No comps entered yet, so your results currently use a generic sector-median placeholder.

Precedents (M&A deal multiples)

Optional. Left empty, the football field simply won't show a Precedents band.

No precedent deals entered yet.

Refine (Tier 2)

Everything here is prefilled from your Tier 1 answers. Override anything; unedited fields stay in sync with Tier 1.
