5-year outlook: Not shown because confidence is low: Earnings-based DCF is somewhat apart.
Why: Free cash flow is positive and in line with earnings, and the dividend is small, so a cash-flow DCF fits best.
Details and the full model are below.
Market price within modeled range
Showing the DCF (trailing free cash flow) you selected on the company card, using 12.72% growth, 3.1% terminal growth and 10.8% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 12.72%, discount rate 10.80%, terminal growth 3.10% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 12.7% (sector default 7.2%, own revenue history 25.2%, analyst revenue consensus 9.2%).
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 9.2% a year; the growth assumption used is 12.7%.

EPS-based Gordon proxy
— USD 127.64 (-24.3%)
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 237.26 (+40.6%)
Not used: Not chosen: Free-cash-flow DCF ranks ahead of it for this company.

FCFF (steady state)
— USD 157.93 (-6.4%)
Not used: Assumes only the long-run terminal growth rate from today, so it ignores the near-term growth expected.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— USD 164.75 (-2.4%)
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.

Fade DCF (10-year growth fade)
— USD 234.66 (+39.1%)
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.
