Data Quality

Data: Medium

The expected equity upside is negative (-58%) over 2 years due to the company's low growth (10.4% YoY) and high current valuation (20x revenue).

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (10%)-14%

Revenue grows to $456M, exit multiple holds at 15x due to AI infrastructure market expansion and potential IPO, but still below current 20x. Implied exit value $6.85B vs $8B entry.

Base (45%)-54%

Revenue grows to $456M, exit multiple converges to 8x (in line with public comps). Implied exit value $3.65B, a 54% decline from entry.

Bear (45%)-72%

Revenue growth disappoints, multiple compresses to 5x due to competitive pressure from cloud giants. Implied exit value $2.28B, -71.5%.

Preference Stack Risk

low

Funding Intensity

860%

Total funding of $687M represents 8.6% of current valuation; 1x non-participating preferred is unlikely to impair common in most scenarios except severe downturn.

Dilution Risk

low

Recent Series E-2 of $200M in April 2026 provides ample runway; no near-term dilution expected.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

No secondary transaction data; market is thin.
