Data Quality
Data: MediumThe equity upside over 2 years is unattractive (expected -45%) due to a high 64x implied trailing multiple and likely multiple compression.
Last updated: July 3, 2026
Revenue reaches $30M annual run-rate by June 2028 via Golden Dome contract wins. Exit multiple holds at 15x (above comps) due to IPO window and category leadership, yielding a $450M exit. After 20% dilution, upside is 20.6%.
Revenue grows to $30M, but multiple compresses to 10x (mid-comp range) as growth normalizes. Exit value $300M, resulting in a -6.25% return before dilution; net -26.25% after dilution.
Revenue misses at $30M, multiple compresses to 5x due to SpaceX competition and slow contract execution. Exit value $150M, far below entry. After 20% dilution, return is -73.1%. Preference overhang does not apply as exit exceeds total funding.
Preference Stack Risk
highFunding Intensity
1690%Total funding $54.1M (17% of $320M valuation) creates a substantial preference overhang, reducing common equity value in downside scenarios.
Dilution Risk
highWith $5M revenue and high capital intensity, a funding round is likely within 12-24 months, potentially diluting common by 20%+.
Secondary Liquidity
noneNo secondary market exists; liquidity requires an exit (IPO or acquisition) expected in 3+ years.
