Task 3 is all about finding financial metrics of comparable companies or comps that are used to get an idea of the multiples at which these companies are trading. These multiples will then be used to help approximate a multiple at which our target company, Best Buy, might trade.

Key takeaways: 1) be consistent. If you're using Yahoo Finance use it for all companies if possible; 2) be consistent in the units you're using. For example, market cap was in billions and I converted it to millions to be consistent with the rest of the table; 3) add columns to help you walk through some arithmetic such as going from market cap to enterprise value.
