Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (15%)+27%

Strong brand loyalty and e-commerce tailwinds support 1.5x forward revenue multiple on $1.357B revenue, implying $2.036B exit, 26.6% upside from estimated $1.608B entry.

Base (40%)-16%

Multiple converges to 1.0x on $1.357B revenue for $1.357B exit, -15.6% downside; low growth and mature industry cap gains.

Bear (45%)-58%

Multiple compresses to 0.5x on $1.357B revenue for $679M exit, exacerbated by high incumbent threat and legal overhang; -57.8% loss.
