Data Quality
Data: MediumZopa offers a compelling equity opportunity given its profitability and growth, but the high preference stack and stale valuation mark suggest caution.
Last updated: July 19, 2026
IPO in favorable market conditions could drive a 6x revenue multiple, but stage cap limits upside to +100%. Strong profitability and new product launches support bull case.
Revenue grows to $641M by 2028, multiple converges to comp average of 4x, yielding $2.57B exit, a 156% return.
Growth slows more than anticipated, multiple compresses to 2x, but exit of $1.28B still above total funding, giving modest 28% return. Preference stack does not trigger loss.
Preference Stack Risk
