Data: High

New Relic, now a private company valued at $6.5 billion following its acquisition by Francisco Partners and TPG in 2023, presents a moderate upside opportunity for equity holders over a 2-year horizon.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (10%)+100%

New Relic successfully leverages its AI-driven observability and agentic AI platform to capture significant market share, accelerating revenue growth to 25% YoY and expanding its valuation multiple to 9x, leading to a $13 billion valuation by 2028.

Base (55%)+49%

New Relic maintains its market position in the competitive observability space, growing revenue at approximately 18% YoY to reach ~$1.29 billion by 2028, and sustaining a 7.5x revenue multiple for a $9.675 billion valuation.

Bear (35%)-30%

Intensified competition from dominant players like Datadog and Dynatrace, coupled with slower-than-expected adoption of new AI features, leads to revenue growth decelerating to 10% YoY and margin pressures from the acquisition debt, resulting in a valuation compression to 4x revenue, or $4.55 billion, by 2028.
