Data: Low

Scribd is a profitable, late-stage digital content subscription company with a low current valuation multiple of ~2.4x on $166.8M ARR.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (15%)+245%

If Scribd executes an IPO in favorable market conditions, its revenue multiple could expand to 6x, reflecting public comps like NFLX. This would yield a ~$1.38B exit value, a 245% gain.

Base (50%)+130%

Assuming moderate growth and multiple convergence to 4x, Scribd's value reaches ~$921M, a 130% return over 2 years.

Bear (35%)+15%

If competition intensifies from Audible and Google, the multiple could compress to 2x, yielding a ~$460M exit, only a 15% gain. Preference stack not triggered.
