Data: Low

Low confidence due to missing growth data.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (10%)+118%

Strong revenue growth to $58M ARR with exit multiple sustained at 14x due to IPO window and category leadership in AI-native loan servicing; net of 20% dilution yields 117.6% upside.

Base (45%)-1%

Revenue reaches $58M but exit multiple compresses to 7x (in line with enterprise SaaS comps, range 5-10x); after 20% dilution, slight negative return.

Bear (45%)-52%

Slowing growth to $58M, multiple compresses to 4x due to incumbent competition (Fiserv, FIS) and no exit; after 20% dilution and preference stack, common suffers severe loss.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Funding Intensity

2190%

Total funding of $75M represents 22% of entry valuation ($341.7M), meaning preferred shareholders have significant liquidation preference.

Dilution Risk

high

Given Series A in July 2025 and $25M ARR, a Series B within 24 months is likely; expect 15-25% dilution.

Secondary Liquidity

moderate

Forge Global lists Salient as 'IPO Mentioned', suggesting some secondary trading interest, but no official market yet.
