Data Quality

Data: Medium

Equity upside over 2 years is deeply negative (-39.6% expected) due to stale valuation, severe preference overhang, and high bear-case probability.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (10%)+34%

Exit multiple holds at 4.5x forward revenue if IPO window opens or Flipkart establishes category leadership in e-commerce and quick commerce. Projected exit value $55.26B net of 20% dilution yields 33.5% upside.

Base (40%)-1%

Exit multiple converges to 3.5x, in line with public comps, giving $42.98B exit value. After 20% dilution, upside nearly flat at -0.6%.

Bear (50%)-85%

Exit multiple compresses to 2.0x, below comp range, yielding $24.56B exit. After 1x preferred liquidation ($12.1B), common equity is $12.46B, a 65.4% loss from entry. Additional 20% dilution pushes common return to -85.4%.
