Median NTM Rev Multiple vs Growth
Clouded Judgement (Jamin Ball)'s line chart drew 39.1K views on X: 4.0x its typical post and #16 of 65 Clouded Judgement (Jamin Ball) charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
The median NTM rev multiple for the software universe fell <5x today - 4.8x median. Only 2 times in last 10 years its been lower. Early 2016 bottomed at ~3.8x, and Nov '22 bottomed at 4.6x
Why it spread
The post spread because it paired a stark milestone, the median software revenue multiple falling below five times to 4.8x, with historical context that only two times in the last ten years were lower, and it drew 39,072 views, 173 likes, 16 reposts, 4 quotes and 75 saves, which is 6.4 times the account's typical likes of 27.
What worked
- The headline number was a clean threshold break, the median multiple dropping under five times to 4.8x, which is easy to grasp and repeat.
- The post anchored that number against two prior bottoms, early 2016 at about 3.8x and November 2022 at 4.6x, and contrasted growth rates of 11% today, 19% in November 2022 and 30% in early 2016.
- The chart was branded, showed a source line and had medium design polish and medium self labelling, which made it credible and shareable even though the source reach was in the bottom quarter.
What to borrow
We could take one striking threshold in our own data, show where it sits against a decade of history, and add the two or three comparable moments with their matching growth figures so the chart tells a short story.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate, which was below average, or treat the view and save counts as proof of lasting impact, and do not copy the exact framing as if the same threshold applies to our data.
