Football Field Chart

A football field chart is the standard investment banking summary slide: it shows implied valuations from different methods (DCF, DDM, comps, precedent transactions) as horizontal bars, with the current market price as a vertical reference line. Interpretation: If most methods cluster at $50-60 and the stock trades at $40, it may be undervalued. If valuations are widely dispersed ($30-$80), there's high uncertainty. Narrow clustering suggests consensus; wide ranges suggest model sensitivity or disagreement. Typical layout: Y-axis lists methods (DCF bull/base/bear, EV/EBITDA comps, P/E comps, etc.); X-axis is price per share; bars show min-max range; current price line shows where market is relative to your analysis. Used in fairness opinions, pitch books, and equity research.
