Aswath Damodaran:
I don't have a crystal ball but you should look at

b. Your company's revenues, relative to the overall market size and larger players in the sector.
Suggestion: Check your revenues in year 10 against the overall market and see what market
share are you giving your company. Check your company's revenues against other companies
in the sector.
Note that this number can be negative for a declining firm.
