Enterprise Software & Cloud Infra Valuations: Bessemer's Rule of X where X = 3

Rule of X: 3 x 2024-26 revenue CAGR + 2024 EBITDA margin. Share prices as of 26 Apr 2024. Analyst consensus estimates. R-square of 0.75. Example: a company growing 20% and EBITDA of 40% = Rule of X score of 3 x 20% + 40% = 100% which would imply a 15x revenue multiple.
