Data: High

Chowdeck is a profitable, rapidly growing leader in the Nigerian on-demand delivery market, serving 2 million users and expanding aggressively into quick commerce and Ghana.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (35%)+350%

Chowdeck successfully executes its rapid dark store expansion and quick commerce strategy in Nigeria and Ghana, reaching 500 dark stores by 2026. This, combined with strong adoption of its diversified services (food, grocery, enterprise tools), drives revenue to $150M+ by 2028 and justifies a $225M valuation, demonstrating strong market leadership and operational excellence.

Base (40%)+100%

Chowdeck maintains its leading position in Nigeria and achieves moderate success in Ghana, growing revenue to $75M by 2028. It continues to face competition and manages the pricing lawsuit, leading to a $100M valuation.

Bear (25%)-75%

The lawsuit regarding alleged hidden pricing escalates, leading to regulatory fines and significant customer churn. Aggressive competition from Glovo and other regional players intensifies price wars, severely impacting margins and slowing expansion. Growth stalls, resulting in a down round or acquisition at a $12.5M valuation, wiping out most common stock value due to liquidation preferences.
