Google went public at about 10 times trailing revenues, growing revenues 240% the year before the IPO.

Prof G Markets
SpaceX IPO Takes Off β€” And Elon Is Now A Trillionaire

Met is trading at seven times sales.

Prof G Markets
SpaceX IPO Takes Off β€” And Elon Is Now A Trillionaire

Microsoft's at less than 10 times sales.

Prof G Markets
SpaceX IPO Takes Off β€” And Elon Is Now A Trillionaire
