Pick a company from each sector, so Consumer & Retail, TMT, Healthcare and go from there, Walmart / Target, Tesla, Netflix, Amazon. You’ll be able to find solutions (albeit not necessarily perfect as each valuation differs based on assumptions used) but it should give you a steer as to how people go about valuing companies from different industries. I assume that’s what you mean?

C&R and Industrials are the easiest to grasp/most logical. Maybe start off with a business with like 1 business line depending on how in-depth you want to go. Caveat by saying I've never done it but I'd imagine something like a car manufacturer would be good vs some conglomerate. Honestly just look up Rare liquids multi-hour DCF build and go from there. If you have a SMIF at your school then either join or befriend someone and have them send you their templates/past models.
