Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$292.84

+51.5% from spot

Merchant scale and strong cash generation support compounding, but later growth fades because measurable forecast visibility ends after FY2027.

The dated FY2027 revenue and adjusted-earnings forecasts are delivered.
Growth fades while profitability stays near the established operating level.

Bull20%

Price target

$368.47

+90.6% from spot

Upside persists if procurement savings fund growth work and partner distribution extends demand beyond the visible forecast period.

Alternative-accommodation supply and product quality lift conversion without margin erosion.
Large-partner integrations add efficient distribution beyond the consumer channel.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth
