Market cap

What the market price implies · Reverse DCF

Historical revenue grew by 32.4%/yr over the past 4 years.

Selected forecast · Base scenario

17.41%/yr · actual 10-year annualized revenue growth

Year 1 growth: 27.57%

Market-implied · Base operating assumptions + edited margins

Unavailable · flat 10-year annualized revenue growth

Reverse DCF solves revenue growth itself using Base operating assumptions and your edited margins. Changing forecast growth alone does not change the implied rate. This is a model-implied requirement, not an analyst forecast.

No supported revenue growth rate matches this price with these operating assumptions.

Estimated value / share

Unavailable

Base scenario

USD · TTM ending 2026-07-31

3 of 10 projected years produce negative free cash flow, so the model returns a negative enterprise value. A discounted-cash-flow valuation cannot be defended on those inputs, so it is not shown.

Year 1 growth 27.57% · Ending margin 0% · Discount rate 9.59%

Assumption scenarios, not statistical confidence intervals.

Why this method?

There is not a stable run of positive FCFF to anchor a direct cash-flow CAGR, so the model should start from revenue and margin assumptions instead.

Is FCFF positive and has it been for 3+ consecutive years? Latest FCFF is not positive.

Price vs Fundamentals

Why The Stock Is Moving

Likely multiple compressionHigh confidence

1Y Price: -41.36%Revenue (TTM): 25.42%FCF (TTM): 17.29%P/FCF: 12th pct

What changed

The stock fell 41.36% over the last year. Revenue grew 25.42% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from -4.62% to -3.98%. Free cash flow grew 17.29% over the trailing twelve months.

What the market seems to be pricing

Visible fundamentals weakened far less than the stock price, and the shares now sit around the 12th percentile of their historical P/FCF range. That looks more like a rerating of the multiple than a collapse in the business.

What would invalidate this read

This read changes if operating margin (currently -3.98%) continues to decline, or if revenue growth turns negative. The bull case requires the business to hold its current trajectory.
