Data Quality

Data: Medium

The equity upside is negative (-27.2% expected) because the stale $150M valuation implies a 10x revenue multiple, while public comparables trade at 5x-7x and revenue growth is only 23%.

Last updated: August 4, 2026

Bull (25%)+32%

Ontop sustains its 10x multiple on $19.9M projected revenue, reaching $199M by month 24 — a 32.4% upside. Profitability and partnerships with Thunes, Thredd, and dLocal support this hold.

Base (50%)-21%

The multiple converges toward public HCM comps at 6x, valuing the company at $119M — 20.6% below the $150M entry. Growth decelerates to ~13% by year two amid competitive pressure.

Bear (25%)-100%

If the exit multiple compresses to 2x, revenue of $19.9M yields just $39.7M, below the $46M preferred liquidation stack. Common stock is wiped out, a -100% return.
