Summary
Our base-case estimate uses a discounted cash flow model based on revenue growth and long-run free cash flow margins. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $8.50 from 20 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $8.00 per share.
Warnings
Our estimate assumes profit margins grow from 4% to 28% over 10 years. If that improvement stalls, the company is worth considerably less.
Gross margin of 82% means each dollar of revenue is highly profitable. As the company grows, overhead costs should shrink as a share of revenue, boosting overall profits.
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
