A market-based valuation (Swedish: marknadsbaserad värdering), sometimes called relative valuation or multiples valuation, is based on what similar companies are worth or have sold for. Ratios known as multiples are applied to the company's own figures to give a reasonable, comparable view of value. It complements methods such as net asset value.
Unlisted shares have no market price, which makes comparisons important, for example in a new share issue or a sale. It is more reliable when the share count in the cap table is correct.

A valuation is an estimate of what a company or a shareholding is worth.
