Here are some updates to the discussion I recently dug up:
Recent data indicates multiples have decreased significantly (30-50%) across most sectors [Zephyr/BVD] with a more recent (Q1-2009) tech sector review by ICON Corporate Finance indicating that technology valuations were more like 11x EBIT and 1x Sales [ICON M&A Review Q1 2009].
Cheers, dR
