Reasoning behind choosing the comp's asset beta

How would I reason on choosing the mean/median asset beta from my target's comps? Taking their mean/median capital structures as a benchmark makes sense to me. But can I actually assume that the target at hand has an underlying business profile that comes with a volatility comparable to the average comp?
