Data Quality

Data: Low

Equity upside is deeply negative (-40.5% probability-weighted) due to a 55% chance of bear scenario where common stock loses ~79% after preference liquidation.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (10%)+25%

IPO in 2026 re-rates Snyk to 15x ARR ($5.36B exit). After 20% dilution, common equity returns 24.7% but probability is low (10%) given slowing growth and incumbent pressure.

Base (35%)+1%

Multiple converges to 12.5x on $357M ARR ($4.46B exit). After 20% dilution, common equity essentially flat. Growth deceleration and churn weigh on multiple.

Bear (55%)-79%

Multiple compresses to 8x on $357M ARR ($2.86B exit). After preference ($1.32B) and 20% dilution, common equity recovers only $1.54B, a -78.5% loss.
