Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)+200%

Capitalizes on defense autonomy boom, secures major follow-on contracts, and goes public within 2 years at a $5.4B+ valuation, driving 200% upside.

Base (35%)+40%

Steady contract wins and growth in hydrogen-powered platforms lead to a moderate valuation increase to ~$2.5B, yielding 40% upside.

Bear (45%)-100%

Incumbent defense primes outcompete, key contracts lost, and valuation falls below total funding of $485M, wiping out common equity.

Est. time to liquidity~3.0 years

Preference Stack Risk

high

Funding Intensity

2690%

Total funding of $485M represents 27% of current valuation, so preferred holders would recover nearly a third of the company in a downside scenario.

Dilution Risk

low

Recent $300M Series C likely provides 2-3 years of runway; no near-term dilutive fundraising expected.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Secondary implied value of $1.65B suggests some pre-IPO trading, but liquidity for employees may be restricted.
