Data Quality

Data: Medium

Collibra offers a strong product and moat, but the low 15% growth and high 25x revenue multiple create significant downside risk over 2 years.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (10%)+1%

IPO window opens and Collibra's category leadership commands a 25x multiple on $253M ARR, yielding $6.33B exit. After 20% dilution, equity upside is negligible at +0.5%.

Base (40%)-82%

Multiple converges to 8x (midpoint of comps) on $253M ARR, exit value $2.02B. After 20% dilution, equity loses 81.5% from entry valuation.

Bear (50%)-96%

Multiple compresses to 5x (below comp range) on $253M ARR, exit value $1.27B. After 20% dilution, equity loses 95.9% and common stock barely recovers above preference overhang.

Est. time to liquidity~3.0 years
Adjusted for competitive dynamics: -80% (raw: -81%, adjustment: +1%)

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

1140%

Total preferred stock ($596M) represents 11.4% of current valuation; 1x non-participating preferred would only impact common in exit below $596M.

Dilution Risk

high

With no public IPO imminent and cash burn likely, a new funding round within 24 months is probable, diluting existing shareholders by ~20%.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Secondary market valuation is available ($5.25B), but trading volume is likely limited given the company's private status and delay in IPO.
