How far back and forward do we usually go for public company comparable and precedent transaction multiples?

Can you please help me with that question? I have found next answer in internet: "Usually you look at the TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) period for both sets, and then you look forward either 1 or 2 years".
But I can't understand how we can look forvard for public company comparable and precedent transaction multiples. We don't know yet about future transaction so how can we do that?
Thanks!
