A defensible valuation range requires triangulating a 5–10 year free cash flow projection and terminal value with peer multiples, then reconciling the DCF and comps outputs to establish a per-share price bracket.

Triangulated valuation cross-references DCF and comparables to derive defensible value ranges rather than relying on single-method outputs. It is needed for equity research and investment theses to avoid common valuation traps.

To reconcile DCF and comps divergences, apply scenario-aware analysis with bear, base, and bull cases. Explain the market-relative differences through robust sensitivity checks and explicit assumption sourcing.

Yes, the DCF and comps framework applies to valuing public companies across industries. It requires structured financial inputs to project free cash flow, compute WACC, and derive market-relative peer multiples.

Avoiding valuation traps requires scenario analysis with bear, base, and bull cases, supported by robust sensitivity checks. This triangulated approach ensures explicit assumption sourcing rather than relying on single-method outputs.
