Direct Answer
Historical case studies on how individual companies changed in value over time. Each study separates what changed in the business (revenue, earnings, margins, business mix) from what changed in the multiple investors were willing to pay. All figures are sourced from primary SEC filings or named market-data sources.
Company Valuation Case Studies
What These Case Studies Do
Company valuation case studies on Swoopr share a common structure. Each one builds a "valuation bridge" that asks three questions:
- How much did revenue change?
- How much did earnings change?
- How much did the market-cap multiple change?
Separating those three effects prevents the most common analytical error: attributing all of a company's market-cap change to multiple expansion or all of it to business growth, when the real explanation usually involves both.
Each study also includes a "What Was Knowable at the Time" table, which reconstructs the information set available before outcomes were observed. Historical analysis is easy when every branch has already resolved. The discipline is to reconstruct the evidence set rather than reading the ending backward onto the beginning.
Available Case Studies
- How NVIDIA's Valuation Changed 2016 to 2026: NVIDIA's market capitalization increased roughly 91x across the selected period while revenue increased roughly 43x and net income roughly 196x. This 10-year case study examines six distinct valuation phases, including multiple expansion, compression, and earnings catch-up, with every figure sourced to a primary filing or named data source.
