Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the high entry multiple (24.6x revenue) and heavy competition from incumbents like Stripe and Adyen, the common equity offers a probability-weighted downside of 54.5% over 2 years.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)+38%

Bull case: Checkout.com IPOs within 2 years at 20x forward revenue ($825M), driving market cap to $16.5B. Revenue sustains 30% growth, and IPO re-rating eliminates preference stack, yielding 37.5% upside for common.

Base (45%)-45%

Base case: Revenue grows to $700M (22.5%/16.9% growth), multiple compresses to 12x (premium to comps), enterprise value $8.4B. After $1.83B preference, common value $6.57B, downside -45%.

Bear (45%)-84%

Bear case: Growth slows drastically (15% then 10%), revenue $620M, multiple collapses to 6x (in-line with comps), enterprise value $3.72B. After preference, common recovers $1.89B, downside -84%. Major risk from incumbents like Stripe and Adyen.
