Data: Medium

Canva offers a moderate expected upside of ~9% over 2 years with moderate risk.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (15%)+49%

IPO window opens in 2026/2027, driving multiple expansion to 12x forward revenue, with exit value of $62.4B. Revenue grows to $5.2B, and strong brand sustains demand.

Base (55%)+24%

Multiple converges to public comp average of 10x, yielding $52B exit. Revenue grows steadily to $5.2B, but competitive pressure from Adobe limits multiple expansion.

Bear (30%)-38%

Multiple compresses to 5x due to growth deceleration or Adobe dominance, resulting in $26B exit. Revenue growth disappoints as competition intensifies.
