comps-analysis

comps-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anthropics/financial-services. It costs 126 tokens per session (7,256 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of comps-analysis, Apache-2.0.

A spreadsheet-based comparison of publicly traded companies using business results, valuation measures, and peer statistics. Comparable-company analysis means judging a company against similar companies in its industry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for public-company valuation, industry benchmarking, merger and acquisition analysis, IPO pricing, funding rounds, and finding companies that look relatively cheap or expensive.
Why use it?
It puts peer data into a consistent format so users can compare performance and valuation when making investment, M&A, IPO, or fundraising decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

comps-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

Comparable Company Analysis

⚠️ CRITICAL: Data Source Priority (READ FIRST)

ALWAYS follow this data source hierarchy:

  1. FIRST: Check for MCP data sources - If S&P Kensho MCP, FactSet MCP, or Daloopa MCP are available, use them exclusively for financial and trading information
  2. DO NOT use web search if the above MCP data sources are available
  3. ONLY if MCPs are unavailable: Then use Bloomberg Terminal, SEC EDGAR filings, or other institutional sources
  4. NEVER use web search as a primary data source - it lacks the accuracy, audit trails, and reliability required for institutional-grade analysis

Why this matters: MCP sources provide verified, institutional-grade data with proper citations. Web search results can be outdated, inaccurate, or unreliable for financial analysis.


Overview

This skill teaches Claude to build institutional-grade comparable company analyses that combine operating metrics, valuation multiples, and statistical benchmarking. The output is a structured Excel/spreadsheet that enables informed investment decisions through peer comparison.

Reference Material & Contextualization:

An example comparable company analysis is provided in examples/comps_example.xlsx. When using this or other example files in this skill directory, use them intelligently:

DO use examples for:

  • Understanding structural hierarchy (how sections flow)
  • Grasping the level of rigor expected (statistical depth, documentation standards)
  • Learning principles (clear headers, transparent formulas, audit trails)

DO NOT use examples for:

  • Exact reproduction of format or metrics
  • Copying layout without considering context
  • Applying the same visual style regardless of audience

ALWAYS ask yourself first:

  1. "Do you have a preferred format or should I adapt the template style?"
  2. "Who is the audience?" (Investment committee, board presentation, quick reference, detailed memo)
  3. "What's the key question?" (Valuation, growth analysis, competitive positioning, efficiency)
  4. "What's the context?" (M&A evaluation, investment decision, sector benchmarking, performance review)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
