Bull thesis
Quantitative: Extreme overvaluation clearly indicated by strict EV/Rev constraints and PEG models.

Hyperscaler Edge Consolidation
· Medium
Major hyperscalers bundle edge compute and network security, destroying pricing power and permanently capping structural operating margins below 20%.
FV impact
Severe. Compresses fair value toward the $52 low-end.
AI Capex Black Hole
Low-Medium· Low
Heavy infrastructure investments in Workers AI fail to achieve required return hurdles, leading to perpetual free cash flow burn and dilutive equity raises.
FV impact
Moderate to Severe. Drives sustained multiple contraction.
SBC Re-rating and Multiple Compression
· High
The market loses patience with structurally high stock-based compensation (~20% of revenue), rerating the terminal multiple to 4x EV/Rev from our 8x anchor.
FV impact
Catastrophic. Triggers massive technical breakdown from current $196 price.
