Wiz offers a rare opportunity to join a company recently acquired by Google at a $32B valuation, but the effective entry valuation based on secondary market ($16B) creates potential for 2x upside.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)+153%

Wiz maintains high growth and the cybersecurity market expands, supporting a revenue multiple of 16x. Exit value reaches $43.75B, yielding 173.4% upside, reduced to 153.4% after 20% dilution.

Base (45%)+17%

Growth decelerates as expected, and multiples compress toward public comps (8x forward revenue). Exit value is $21.87B, giving 36.7% upside, reduced to 16.7% after dilution.

Bear (35%)-64%

Intense competition from incumbents slows growth and depresses multiples to 4x. Exit value of $10.94B is above preferred stack, but common upside is -43.5%, further reduced to -63.5% after dilution.

Adjusted for competitive dynamics: 25% (raw: 16%, adjustment: +9%)

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

1188%

Total funding of $1.9B represents 11.9% of entry valuation, so preference overhang is manageable but not negligible.

Dilution Risk

high

Given the early stage and high burn, a future funding round within 24 months is likely, leading to ~20% dilution for common stock.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market exists post-acquisition; equity is effectively tied to Google stock.
