SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Determining whether a stock is cheap or expensive requires more than quoting a PE ratio: you must pick a legitimate multiple, build a defensible comparable set, control for the fundamentals that drive the multiple, and avoid forbidden methods for the company type. This Skill runs that entire relative-valuation stage with scripted calculations and explicit constraints. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multiple discipline: Builds a blocked-multiple list from classification constraints, enforces numerator/denominator consistency, and refuses invalid pairings like Price/EBITDA. - Comparable-set and regression analysis: Screens peers, computes distribution statistics (medians, percentiles), runs sector and market regressions, and converts predicted multiples into per-share prices with a full equity bridge. - Company-type overrides: Applies survival-proxy pricing for young firms, PBV/ROE for financial services, normalized earnings for cyclicals, and sum-of-the-parts for multi-business companies. - Use Case: An analyst pricing a loss-making SaaS company against its sector uses this Skill to block earnings multiples, run an EV/Sales regression against revenue growth, and produce a benchmarked pricing verdict with fit statistics. ## Quick Start Ask the valuation orchestrator to run the relative-valuation stage for your company so this Skill prices it against comparable peers and writes relative-result.json and relative.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I value a company using comparable company analysis?

Comparable company analysis computes a multiple for every peer, describes its distribution using medians and percentiles, then controls for the fundamental that drives the multiple via storytelling or regression. This Skill runs that workflow through scripted subcommands and outputs an implied price per share.

How to choose the right valuation multiple for a company?

Choose based on company type: negative earnings blocks PE and EV/EBIT, financial firms block all enterprise-value multiples, and negative book equity blocks PBV. The Skill builds a blocked-multiple list from classification constraints and records a substitute for each block.

When should I use relative valuation instead of DCF?

Use relative valuation when the question is whether a stock is cheap against its peers or the market, or when the asset can be priced but not valued intrinsically. Relative verdicts inherit any benchmark mispricing, so they are reported as pricing, not value.

Why is the mean PE misleading in peer analysis?

Multiples are heavily skewed: in January 2021 the average US trailing PE was 103.25 against a median of 20.30. When the mean-to-median ratio exceeds three, only medians should be reported, and drop-outs from non-computable multiples must be counted as sample bias.

What R-squared is acceptable for a sector regression in valuation?

Below 0.15 the sector is not priced on those fundamentals, so the prediction is weak evidence and cannot carry the verdict. Below 0.30 the intrinsic estimate should outweigh the regression at reconciliation, and insignificant variables with t-statistics under 1 are dropped.
