What is the definition of a Football Field Graph?

A football field graph is a graph showing the valuation of a company according to different methodologies. Some of the methodologies used are:

• DCF
• Public Comparables
• Precedent Transactions

The graph will show the different mean valuations and multiples for the different methodologies and allow the person who is conducting the valuation (or most likely their MD) to decide which method to use primarily to achieve the best possible valuation.
