Data Quality

Data: Medium

Temporal offers moderate upside potential (expected ~10%) over a 2-year horizon, but with significant risk due to a high preference stack, dilution, and valuation uncertainty from secondary market signal.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (15%)+67%

Revenue reaches $312M in 24 months with exit multiple expanding to 15x (top of comp range), delivering 87.2% gross upside. After 20% dilution, net upside is 67.2%. Key driver: IPO window and category leadership in durable execution.

Base (55%)+17%

Revenue grows to $312M with exit multiple compressing slightly to 11x (mid-range), yielding 37.3% gross upside. After 20% dilution, net upside is 17.3%. Assumes steady growth and market convergence.

Bear (30%)-33%

Revenue reaches $312M but exit multiple compresses to 7x (low end), resulting in 12.6% gross downside. After 20% dilution, net downside is 32.6%. Risk of slower growth or increased competition from incumbents.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Funding Intensity

2600%

Total funding of $650M represents 26% of entry valuation, giving preferred holders a $650M liquidation preference over common.

Dilution Risk

high

With $200M estimated revenue and fast growth, future raises are likely; we assume 20% dilution from additional equity issuances.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Secondary market exists at $2.5B implied value, indicating some liquidity but at a 50% discount to primary round.
