Data Quality
Data: LowGiven the high uncertainty due to missing financial data and competitive threats, the equity upside is modest at ~27% expected return over 2 years.
Last updated: July 21, 2026
Assuming 10x exit multiple (expansion due to category leadership and IPO window opening), projected revenue of $7.8M yields market cap $78M, net of 20% dilution gives 108% upside.
7x exit multiple converging to comp range, revenue $7.8M yields $55M, net dilution gives 46% upside.
4x exit multiple compressing below comp range due to competitive pressure, revenue $7.8M yields $31M, net dilution gives -17%.
