Transaction Comps Data Sources

This problem practices how to identify the right source for each piece of data used in transaction comparable analysis, such as deal terms, historical financials, share price history, and earnings estimates. In investment banking interviews, questions like this test whether you understand not just valuation methods, but also where the underlying information comes from and how bankers verify it quickly and reliably. It also reflects the real work of building a comp set, where accuracy, source selection, and familiarity with filings, company reports, and market data tools all matter.
