Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+80%

IPO window opens or Lilt achieves category leadership, sustaining an 8x revenue multiple. Projected revenue of $79M yields a $634M market cap, net of 20% dilution, resulting in 80% upside from a $280M entry.

Base (40%)+50%

Multiple converges to public comps at 6x, with revenue growth to $79M. Post-dilution upside is 50% from entry.

Bear (40%)-35%

Multiple compresses to 3x due to incumbent threat from Google and DeepL, and a down round dilutes common stock. After preference stack, common shares see -35% return.
