I find this insight a bit interesting. EBITDA values would have made it more comprehensive.

I'll post the same comment I put on LinkedIn for this list: "Nothing. This list tells us nothing. It's an anecdote at best and leading at worst. Absent a ton of other facts, along with the emotions of the buyer and/or seller, it is reckless to assume the multiple was the driver of a deal closing or not."
