Plain-Language 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 $48.00 from 5 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $28.44 per share.

Warnings

Our estimate assumes profit margins grow from 0% to 23% over 10 years. If that improvement stalls, the company is worth considerably less.
Wall Street's average price target is $48.00 (from 5 analysts). Our estimate is 51% 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
