Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$90.47

-17.2% from spot

Cash remains durable, margins stay near the FY2026 baseline, and diluted shares continue to decline. This path fails if annual revenue or cash breaches the cited tests.

Post-event growth converts into annual results, then returns toward mature growth.

Bull20%

Price target

$135.76

+24.3% from spot

Upside persists if higher estimates become reported sales, cash remains durable, and diluted shares keep declining. Margin stagnation or renewed dilution would disconfirm this path.

Demand stays strong, supply remains adequate, and sourcing benefits become visible in margins.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth

The highlighted cell is Fair value when every assumption sits at its base level ($90.47). Each row and column shows what Fair value becomes when one assumption moves.
