Name That Multiple

A Wordle for finance. See a company, guess its EV/EBITDA band from the business quality, and learn why growth, margins and cyclicality move the number. Share your score.

Ten companies, one at a time. You get the sector, how fast it is growing and how profitable it is. Pick the EV/EBITDA band it trades in.

A right answer scores a point and extends your streak. A wrong one costs the streak and nothing else: you see the real multiple and the reason behind it before moving on.

The multiples are illustrative and averaged across the cycle, so this trains the pattern rather than today’s share prices.
