Comparable Company Analysis Command

Build an institutional-grade comparable company analysis with operating metrics, valuation multiples, and statistical benchmarking.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Company Information

If a company name or ticker is provided, use it. Otherwise ask:

• "What company would you like to analyze?"

Step 2: Load Comps Analysis Skill

Use skill: "comps-analysis" to build the analysis:

1. Clarify the analysis purpose:

   • "What's the key question?" (valuation, efficiency, growth comparison)
   • "Who is the audience?" (IC, board, quick reference)
   • "Do you have a preferred format or template?"

2. Identify peer group (4-6 comparable companies):

   • Similar business model
   • Similar scale/market cap range
   • Same industry/sector
   • Geographic comparability

3. Gather data (prioritize MCP sources if available):

   • Operating metrics: Revenue, Growth, Gross Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin
   • Valuation: Market Cap, Enterprise Value, EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E
   • Additional metrics based on industry (Rule of 40 for SaaS, etc.)

4. Build the analysis:

   • Operating Statistics section with company data + statistics (Max, 75th, Median, 25th, Min)
   • Valuation Multiples section with same statistical summary
   • Notes & Methodology documentation

Step 3: Create Excel Output

Generate Excel file with:

• Header block (analysis title, companies, date, units)
• Operating Statistics & Financial Metrics section
• Valuation Multiples section
• Statistical summary for each metric
• Notes section documenting sources and methodology

Step 4: Deliver Output

Provide:

1. Excel file (.xlsx) - the comps analysis
2. Summary highlighting:
   • Peer group selection rationale
   • Key insights (who trades at premium/discount)
   • Median multiples for reference
