Hi guys,
I am currently looking for multiples that are used by bankers in Consumer Retail & Healthcare (for instance, in tech bankers use EV/Pageviews).
Many thanks!!

EV/EBITDAR R=Rent Expense
In theory, you're supposed to know EB/EBITDAR. In practice, I think EV/EBITDA is the most widely used still.
I can't speak for health care, but for consumer, 10-12x EBITDA is the average, with the majority of deals happening in the 10-11x space. If you get above 14x, you've got something special. If you drop below 8.5x, your client probably had some financial issues.
Additionally for consumer, I'd recommend knowing the following:
EV/Donuts eaten.. fairly common in both sectors
Revenue per square foot for consumer as well
