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 $47.00 from 39 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $36.02 per share.

Warnings

Our estimate assumes profit margins grow from 9% to 28% over 10 years. If that improvement stalls, the company is worth considerably less.
Gross margin of 81% 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 $47.00 (from 39 analysts). Our estimate is 33% 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
