A comment on Mailchimp Is Exploring a Sale at $10B-Plus Valuation.
$300mm in earnings
Average SP500 P/E ratio is 35: https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-pe-ratio (People get very different numbers for this, but let's go with it for now)
300 x 35 = $10.5B (assuming no debt or cash on the balance sheet, which I don't know about)
So makes sense back of the envelope assuming it is growing as fast as the "average" SP500 company.
