The base case carries an assigned probability of 60.0% and establishes a target of $233.22, yielding an implied return of -20.4% relative to $293.10. This path assumes contractual wholesale price increases on the core registry continue without regulatory disruption, flowing into revenue over the standard multi-year recognition cycle. Operating margins remain steady near current levels, and systematic share buybacks continue to contract the share count. This case would be disconfirmed if regulatory authorities cap renewal prices or if first-time renewal rates drop persistently through FY2027.
