what's the best way to research private companies? especially for doing things like m&a comps?





you dont do trading comps on
you dont do trading comps on private companies. if youre spreading the transaction multiples you can use capIQ, check the press releases for approxiamte revenue/op income numbers, and check research for their financial estimates.
Best is PrivCo private co M&A
Best is PrivCo private co M&A database IMO. CapIQ not bad but mostly public M&A, sometimes PEHub has somethings but not searchable much mostly blog posts. I'd go with first.
