• {{industry_context}}: Industry trends, market conditions, and competitive landscape.
• {{valuation_methods}}: Preferred methods (e.g., DCF, comparable company analysis) or leave blank for a combination.

Instructions

1. If any required information is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided financial data, calculating key ratios (e.g., P/E, EV/EBITDA, ROE) and identifying trends.
3. Apply the requested valuation methods, or use a combination of DCF and comparable company analysis if not specified.
4. Assess the company's competitive advantages, market position, and growth prospects.
5. Provide a valuation range with clear reasoning, highlighting key assumptions and risks.
