Frequently Asked Questions
Implied Market Cap = Net Income × P/E Multiple. Implied Price per Share = Market Cap ÷ Shares Outstanding.
Look at recently-IPO'd or publicly-traded comparable companies in your sector — this tool doesn't recommend a multiple, it computes the result for whatever you enter.
Enter whichever share count matches the market cap you're solving for — typically post-IPO fully-diluted shares outstanding, since that's what determines price per share to public investors.
A P/E-based approach only works with positive net income — pre-profit companies are usually valued on a revenue multiple instead (see Revenue Multiple Calculator or Startup Valuation Calculator).
