Steps to investigate about a firm
1. Choose a company
2. Type RV in the command line
▪ The RV screen is divided into 3 parts:
▫ Segments: shows the businesses the company is in currently
▫ Metric: shows the current multiples of the company in comparison to its
peers, the high and low of that multiple in the industry and where the
peers stand
▫ The tabs in the bottom half: The overview tab shows information on
companion variables of equity multiples

EQRV
▪ EQRV helps to know whether the company is fairly priced compared to its
historical performance on a standalone basis and as compared to its peers
▪ The Blended forward PE (BFPE) normalises the reporting period in case the
when comparables have different accounts closing periods.
▪ This shows that PE of the company is 8% more than the mean of its industry
peers. But is it normal to pay 8% premium for the company?

EQRV
We observe that the historical premium has been -13%. Is the difference between 8% and -13%
minimal, dramatic or inconsequential? We can see in the 2Yr historical premium range chart that
it moved between -40% and 27%.
Implied multiple = -13% x 19.9x = 17.3x. Implied price = 1yr forward EPS of 250.78 x 17.3x = 4330.93.
Current price = 5364.90 (over-valued)
