Data Quality
Data: LowJoining Isar Aerospace at a $2.2B valuation carries severe downside risk for common equity.
Last updated: July 3, 2026
Isar achieves first commercial launches and strong demand, generating $200M revenue by mid-2028. Applying a 20x forward revenue multiple (above comp range due to scarcity value) implies a $4B exit. After preference ($957M) and 20% dilution, common equity grows from $1.24B to $2.43B, a 96% gain.
Commercial launches commence but slower; revenue reaches $100M. At a 10x multiple (mid-comp range), exit value is $1B. Preference captures $957M, leaving $43M for common. After 20% dilution, common equity falls to $34M, a 97% loss from the $1.24B entry common value.
Technical delays or competition stifle revenue, keeping it below $100M. Exit value drops below $957M (e.g., $500M at 5x multiple). Preference takes all proceeds; common stock recovers nothing, a complete loss.
Preference Stack Risk

Dilution Risk
highGiven high burn rate and pre-revenue status, additional funding rounds are probable within 2 years, diluting common equity by 15-25%.
