Summary
Projecting 30% revenue growth with FCF margins expanding from 33% to 28% over 10 years, discounted at 12%, the base-case value is $65.45 per share.
Warnings
Gross margin of 76% means each dollar of revenue is highly profitable. As the company grows, overhead costs should shrink as a share of revenue, boosting overall profits.
Wall Street's average price target is $370.42 (from 18 analysts). Our estimate is 82% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
Key Risks
- Current FCF misleads — the model values future margins, not today's cash
- SBC dilution is the hidden tax: 2-4% annual share growth compounds fast
- Revenue deceleration is inevitable — the question is when and how steep
