run a comp set and I'm sure you'll find this answer... it's not inscribed in moses' 10 tablets of valuation
approx. 8-10x in this market
This is pretty accurate, though "consumer products" is pretty broad. I'd say 8-10x LTM EBITDA is spot on.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
Drexel, FYI, all industries usually have a standard EBITDA multiple range.
No, most industries usually trade within a similar range-that is the idea behind comps. That range can vary quite significantly depending on market conditions, analyst expectations, and other factors.
Also, consumer products is much too wide a field for you to act like there is a standard answer, even taking in to account current conditions; if you compare LVMH with BUD, you're not exactly looking at a relevant comp.

I've always found 9.734x gives me the right result. ALWAYS.
Actually, no. In practice, many firms/groups use what they believe is the "standard or usual" multiple to get a quick feel of the valuation. While Drexel you may come up with theories and concepts for why this isn't right, many firms do this, at least at the two ibanks and HF I interned at and from talks with BB analysts.
Don't know of anyone with any credibility that would just slap a multiple on EBITDA without at least having a comp range.
I am pretty sure Drexel just owned you man. Live and learn. Consumer products is a very huge net to cast also. Most analysts break it down into more relevant categories.
