DealMatrix multiples are derived from institutional-grade public-market index data covering ~150 GICS sub-industries across 6 regions, with quarterly history back to 2000. Index data is licensed from leading market-data providers — in line with licensing terms we publish derived multiples, not raw vendor data. Regional scaling follows Damodaran (NYU Stern), and the methodology follows the IPEV Guidelines 2025. Published benchmarks are illustrative and dated; because IPEV 2025 prohibits static multiples for reporting periods from 1 April 2026, current quarterly data for valuation work is available on the platform.
How region affects valuation
Private-market multiples vary materially by region. North America is the global reference market and typically carries the highest multiples, supported by the deepest capital markets and exit environment. Europe and Asia-Pacific sit modestly below, while emerging markets such as South America and Africa trade at a structural discount that reflects liquidity, currency and exit risk.
The regional benchmark on this page is a cross-sector, cross-stage blend. The right multiple for a specific deal depends on the company's sector and stage as well — which the tool below lets you combine.
