Data Quality

Data: Low

The equity offer has a negative expected return of -75% over 2 years due to a highly stale valuation, severe preference overhang ($4.6B vs $9.2B), and a dominant competitive landscape.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (15%)-9%

Assuming IPO window in 2 years allows multiple expansion to 8x forward revenue, but after 20% dilution, upside turns negative. Exit value ~$10.2B.

Base (40%)-72%

Multiple converges to public comp range of ~3.5x, yielding exit of $4.4B, far below entry. After dilution, large loss.

Bear (45%)-100%

Multiple compresses to 2x due to competitive pressure, exit value $2.5B below $4.6B preference stack, common stock worth zero.
