Valuation Notes
YouTube channels typically trade at 2.5x–4.0x annual SDE.
Key factors pushing toward premium multiples: strong growth trajectory (+28% in '25, 60%+ projected '26), rising RPM, loyal returning viewers, and diversified revenue (ads + Premium).
Factors that may discount: creator dependency, single-platform risk, and whether revenue is tied to trending vs. evergreen content.
At the 2026 base case with a 3.5x multiple, the channel values at approximately $1.23M.
With trailing 2025 actuals at 3.5x, the floor valuation today is roughly $765K.
