In response to "Shark Tank fans, is there a simple ratio to know a company's annual budget based on its total buyout worth?" by Max

kinda? price to earnings is probs best. it varies by industry and growth/expected growth.

for example software companies in the mining industry are going for like 40 to 60 times earnings right now, but that's a bit extreme.

probably like 10-15 times earnings for a reasonably stable, established company. probably 25 to 30 for something you're expecting rapid growth out of?

Responses:

I'd be surprised if anyone going on Shark Tank had earnings to speak of. If they did, they'd have much better prospects elsewhere. -- nm - znufrii May 18, 20:17 1
- Some do, but they're still start ups and the publicity can be huge. - pmb May 18, 22:04
