Waymo achieves 10x forward revenue multiple at $1.1B revenue (exit $11B), but even with IPO catalyst, valuation compresses 91%. After 20% dilution, net upside -93%.

Base (45%)-96%

Multiple converges to 6x forward revenue (mid of comp range) at $1.1B revenue, exit $6.6B. After 20% dilution, net upside -96%.

Bear (45%)-100%

Exit multiple compresses to 2x ($2.2B exit), below $27.1B total funding; common stock recovers zero. Net upside -100%.
