π Multiples are signals: not verdicts.
The BVR DealStats Value Index Digest 3Q 2026 illustrates why private-company valuation requires more than selecting a headline multiple. DealStats provides transaction comparables for private and public companies, including valuation multiples and profitability margins, with analysis that can be segmented by deal size, sector, year, and transaction type.
Common measures include MVIC/Net Sales, MVIC/EBITDA, MVIC/EBIT, MVIC/SDE, MVIC/BVIC, and Pure Play MVIC equivalents.
The right comparable set matters. So do earnings quality, customer concentration, owner dependence, recurring revenue, growth, capital intensity, and transaction structure. Two businesses in the same industry can command very different outcomes because their underlying risk and opportunity profiles are different.
That is why preparation converts to value. Before going to market, owners should establish a defensible valuation baseline, normalize financials, reduce key-person risk, document operations, and build a clear buyer narrative.
