Hi,
for public companies one can translate a given p/e-multiple range into implied ranges for EV or share price. But how would I have to proceed with respect to a private company? Are trading- and transaction comps simply not used in these cases?

You can still use a multiple on the private company's NI and EBITDA...
Meaning I would take a p/e-multiple from public comps and use net income to translate it into an implied range for equtiy value?
