These techniques rely on existing market prices and transactions to derive fair or approximate values, often used in contexts such as business valuation, real estate appraisal, and financial analysis. Common approaches include the multiples method (e.g., Price-to-Earnings ratio), comparable transactions analysis, and other metrics rooted in current market conditions.
