Looks overvalued
5-year outlook: Not shown because confidence is low: Earnings-based DCF disagrees strongly.
Why: Free cash flow is positive and in line with earnings, and the dividend is small, so a cash-flow DCF fits best.
Start with the price and fair value range, then review the data dates and assumptions below. Estimates are not predictions or investment advice.
Market price above modeled range
Showing the EPS-based Gordon proxy you selected on the company card, using 11.54% growth, 3.25% terminal growth and 11.5% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice. Low confidence: the modelled value is far from the market price, which usually means the model does not capture this company well (for example expected growth well above its history).
Assumptions: growth 11.54%, discount rate 11.50%, terminal growth 3.25% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 11.5% (sector default 8.5%, own revenue history 16.8%, analyst revenue consensus 10.4%).
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 10.4% a year; the growth assumption used is 11.5%.

EPS-based Gordon proxy
— USD 32.35 (-83.8%)
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 176.16 (-12.0%)
Not used: Free cash flow is 4.0x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
-
FCFF (steady state)
— USD 124.08 (-38.0%)
Not used: Free cash flow is 4.0x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— not applicable
Not used: Cannot be computed: EBITDA is missing, zero or negative.

Fade DCF (10-year growth fade)
— USD 174.25 (-13.0%)
Not used: Free cash flow is 4.0x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.

EV/Sales (Rule of 40)
— USD 76.68 (-61.7%)
Not used: Used only when cash-flow models land far below the price; here they do not.

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.
