Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (30%)+18%

If Chargebee successfully IPOs in the next 2 years and the company maintains a premium multiple of 12x forward revenue due to category leadership, equity could yield 18.2% net of dilution.

Base (45%)-62%

Multiple compression to 5x forward revenue, in line with public comps, despite revenue growth to $403M, leading to a -62.4% return after 20% dilution.

Bear (25%)-86%

Multiple falls to 3x due to slowing growth and competitive pressure, with exit value of $1.21B, resulting in -85.5% net return.
