Bull (25%)+75%

OLX capitalizes on AI-driven platform enhancements to accelerate revenue growth, with a potential IPO or strategic acquisition driving multiples to 12x forward revenue, resulting in an enterprise value of $16.7B and a 75% upside.

Base (55%)-27%

Revenue grows at a decelerating pace to $1.39B, but multiple compression to 5x forward revenue (in line with public peers) erases value, yielding a -27% return as the market prices in slower growth and competitive pressures.

Bear (20%)-71%

Intensified competition from eBay and Craigslist, along with regulatory pressures, lead to multiple compression to 2x forward revenue, driving enterprise value to $2.8B and a -71% return.
