Data Quality

Data: Medium

While Faire has strong fundamentals and a large TAM, the expected equity upside over 2 years is negative at -28.9% due to severe preference overhang, high dilution risk, and critical incumbent threats.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (10%)+33%

Faire achieves 10x revenue multiple driven by Shopify acquisition premium or strong IPO window, reaching $7.96B market cap. Dilution reduces upside to 33.1%.

Base (45%)-13%

Multiple converges to 7x on $796M revenue, valuation ~$5.57B. After 20% dilution, equity value drops 12.85%.

Bear (45%)-59%

Multiple compresses to 4x due to competitive pressure from Shopify/Amazon and slowing growth, valuation ~$3.18B. Preference stack reduces common equity further after dilution.
