Methodology
WACC is computed with CAPM: country risk-free rate (10-year government bond yields, June 2026) + relevered sector beta x equity risk premium (Damodaran January 2026, country premium included) + an SME size premium calibrated against Argos Index mid-market transaction multiples. Size thresholds are converted to each currency using ECB FX rates.
The dataset is regenerated monthly from a tested single source of truth (450+ automated tests, source-staleness gate at every build).
