Thank you so much for this! It's very generous of you to have taken the time.



My pleasure! I've spent the better part of the last decade doing this stuff and I appreciate how hard it is to find resources on it, so thought I'd share since you mentioned you were interested in learning

At the risk of exhausting said interest, here's one real life example of a similar analysis: https://wsp-blog-images.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2011/09/171...

See PDF page 14. Note the lines called "Composite P / NTM EPS" which they built as a blend of American Eagle's, Tilly's and Zumiez's P/E multiple, which are companies X, Y and Z in my comment above (for some reason they gave AE double the weight which is unusual) and compared it to Heat's P/E multiple (Heat was the codename for retailer Rue21, or hypothetical company W in my example above)

I got this deck from https://www.wallstreetprep.com/knowledge/investment-banking-... which has a few other examples and a variety of other resources on the topic FYI
