I kind of got asked this question
So public comps and transaction comps are 2 ways to value a firm transaction comps comes with a control premium because of synergies and stuff
does that apply to non-M&A deals? where do you get premium in lets say IPO or debt offering?
i'm a bit confused here. thanks for helping
