Price within modeled range
5-year outlook: Not shown because confidence is low: Free-cash-flow DCF disagrees strongly.
Why: Cash-flow models land far below the price (or cannot be computed) for this growth-oriented company, so value is based on revenue scaled by growth plus EBITDA margin (Rule of 40).
The range depends on model assumptions and data; it is not a prediction or investment advice.

Market price within modeled range
Showing the EV/Sales (Rule of 40) you selected on the company card, using 8.74% growth, 3.25% terminal growth and 11.5% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 8.74%, discount rate 11.50%, terminal growth 3.25% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 8.7% (sector default 8.5%, own revenue history 8.6%, analyst revenue consensus 8.9%).
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 8.9% a year; the growth assumption used is 8.7%.

EPS-based Gordon proxy
— USD 155.95 (-69.8%)
Not used: Treats all earnings as if paid out and ignores the cash kept for reinvestment, so it overstates value for companies that retain most profit.
-
DCF (trailing free cash flow)
— USD 179.16 (-65.3%)
Not used: Not chosen: EV/Sales (Rule of 40) ranks ahead of it for this company.

FCFF (steady state)
— USD 131.23 (-74.6%)
Not used: Assumes only the long-run terminal growth rate from today, so it ignores the near-term growth expected.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— USD 199.63 (-61.4%)
Not used: Used only when free cash flow is far below earnings even after averaging three years; a fixed 12x multiple also ignores sector differences.

— USD 177.29 (-65.7%)
Not used: An alternative growth path (fading over 10 years) shown for comparison; the automatic choice does not use it.

Margin = (value − price) / value, so it is measured against the value and reads lower than the upside to value, which is measured against the price. Positive means the price is below that case.
