Course overview
The note "Building an Analytical Code for Multiples" examines the use of valuation multiples as a heuristic in financial analysis, drawing parallels to attribution substitution from behavioral economics. It highlights how multiples, like the P/E ratio, provide a simple and quick method for valuation, yet often overlook the intricate details of a company's financial health and market position.

This work argues for an analytical approach that retains the simplicity of multiples but incorporates a more in-depth evaluation to accurately reflect a company's intrinsic value, navigating the limitations of this shorthand method in business analysis.
