What the agent was asked to do

Benchmark the results for Elastic NV Q2'FY26 (ending 10/31/2025) against their industry peers as reported in Public Comparables (for Q2). 1. Calculate the public comparables mean (average) for Market Cap, Enterprise Value, Enterprise Value/Revenue, and Enterprise Value/EBITDA 2. State the percent by which Elastic N.V. Underperformed or Overperformed its peers average across each valuation metric Constraints you MUST follow: 1. Express all multiples to two decimal places, and include 'x' after the second decimal 2. Express Market Cap and Enterprise Value as whole numbers 3. To manage large and extreme values, apply the following for the Public Comparables: 3a. Exclude Market Cap > $1 trillion in calculating the Market Cap average 3b. Exclude Enterprise Value > $1 trillion in calculating the Enterprise Value average 3c. Exclude Negative Multiples for Enterprise Value/Revenue and Enterprise Value/EBITDA 3d. Exclude Multiples > 200.00x for Enterprise Value/EBITDA Write your reply to me here with everything that I asked for.

Criteria and grader verdict (showcase run)

States the peer comparables Market Cap Average is $73,832,500,000
Fail
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “All Market Cap and Enterprise Value figures are shown in USD millions” and table gives Public Comparables Mean for Market Cap as “$73,833.” Assessment: Criterion requires stating peer comparables Market Cap Average is $73,832,500,000. The response states $73,833 million ($73,833,000,000), not the required $73,832,500,000; fail.
States the peer comparable Enterprise Value Average is $70,775,000,000
Pass
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states figures are “in USD millions” and table gives Public Comparables Mean for Enterprise Value as “$70,775.” Assessment: Criterion requires $70,775,000,000. $70,775 million equals $70,775,000,000; pass.
States the peer comparables Enterprise Value/Revenue Multiple Average is 11.88x
Pass
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE table lists Public Comparables Mean for “Enterprise Value/Revenue” as “11.88x.” Assessment: Criterion requires stating EV/Revenue Multiple Average is 11.88x; pass.
States the peer comparables Enterprise Value/EBITDA Multiple Average is 32.92x
Pass
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE table lists Public Comparables Mean for “Enterprise Value/EBITDA” as “32.92x.” Assessment: Criterion requires stating EV/EBITDA Multiple Average is 32.92x; pass.
States that Elastic NV Market Cap underperformed its industry peers by 87.21%
Fail
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE table states for Market Cap “Underperformed by 89.96%.” Assessment: Criterion requires stating Elastic NV Market Cap underperformed peers by 87.21%. The stated percentage is different; fail.
States Elastic NV Enterprise Value underperformed its industry peers by 87.93%
Fail
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE table states for Enterprise Value “Underperformed by 90.66%.” Assessment: Criterion requires underperformed by 87.93%. The response gives a different percentage; fail.
States Elastic NV Enterprise Value/Revenue Multiple underperformed its industry peers by 53.60%
Fail
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE table states for Enterprise Value/Revenue “Underperformed by 65.39%.” Assessment: Criterion requires underperformed by 53.60%. The stated value does not match; fail.
States Elastic NV Enterprise Value/EBITDA Multiple overperformed its industry peers by 682.23%
Fail
Evidence: TEXT_RESPONSE table states for Enterprise Value/EBITDA “Overperformed by 466.62%.” Assessment: Criterion requires overperformed by 682.23%. The response gives a different percentage; fail.
