Base and Bull scenarios

Base50%

Price target

$55.48

+30.8% from spot

Modal expectation where Hinge's international growth (+86% in Europe) offsets near-term Tinder sluggishness, while Tinder rebrand and Events features stabilize payers by late 2027. Realization of $130M alternative payment savings and continuous buybacks drive consensus EPS from $3.95 in FY2026 to $4.58 in FY2027, achieving the committee mid fair value of $55.48.

Tinder MAU flattens by end of Q4 2027 with payers returning to growth
Hinge achieves $1.0B revenue target in 2027
GAAP operating margin expands steadily toward target levels by FY2029
100% of FCF deployed into share repurchases and dividends
Terminal P/E multiple normalizes at 13.5x with cost of equity at 11.40%

Bull25%

Price target

$58.23

+37.3% from spot

Turnaround accelerates as Gen Z engagement features (Events, Double Date, Modes) re-energize Tinder, driving payer penetration above prior peaks. Hinge scales rapidly across Europe, Latin America, and India, delivering 25%+ top-line CAGR. Robust free cash flow generation enables accelerated share repurchases, yielding EPS compounding exceeding 20% annually and supporting the upper fair value band of $58.23.

Tinder DAU and MAU turn firmly positive ahead of schedule, with payers returning to sustained annual growth
Hinge exceeds its billion-dollar revenue target in FY2027 fueled by tiered subscription adoption and Latin American expansion
GAAP operating margin expands significantly from operating leverage and shared platform efficiency
Terminal price-to-earnings multiple expands toward the peer group average
