From a stock price
to a testable investment case.
Filed-baseline simulation. The pinned examples use FY2025 disclosures, not the latest financials; a ticker you pull uses the most recent annual filing on file with our data provider, which can lag the newest quarter. Test prices start at a previous close and are illustrative and editable—not live quotes, consensus estimates, or recommendations.

One business. Different paths.
Scenario paths are sensitivity illustrations, not probabilities or predicted stock returns. Bull: growth +5pp, margin +3pp, discount −1pp. Bear: the opposite. Inputs respect slider limits.

02½ / SEE THE VALUE BUILD
Where the number comes from.
Five years of discounted cash flow, plus a terminal value, less net debt, divided by shares. Every bar updates as you move the assumptions.
02¾ / SIMULATE BEING A LITTLE WRONG
How fragile is your number?
Each simulated case nudges growth, margin and the discount rate around your assumptions and values the share again. The histogram morphs live as you drag the sliders.
Simulated draws around your own assumptions, not probabilities of market outcomes or predicted returns. The spread is fixed (growth ±4pp, margin ±3pp, discount ±0.75pp, one sigma) and clamped to the input limits.
03 / FIND THE TRADE-OFF
What would make the price work?
Each cell is a model value per share. Pick a growth and operating-margin combination to make it your case.
04 / CHALLENGE THE CASE
Which assumption matters most?
Ranges change one input at a time. Growth, margin and reinvestment: ±3 percentage points. Discount rate: ±1 point. All values are USD per share.
05 / REHEARSE THE NEXT RESULT
What if the story changes?
Apply a hypothetical change across the forecast. This does not represent a reported earnings result.
Choose a stress to see its impact on your model.

FACTS HAVE FOOTNOTES
Reported baseline & provenance
The forecast starts from the company’s most recent annual period end shown above—FY2025 for the pinned examples. It is a filed-baseline exercise, not a same-day valuation. Forecasts, test prices, taxes and reinvestment assumptions are not company guidance. Pulled baselines are read from filings as our data provider reports them and are not independently reviewed.

UNDER THE HOOD
A transparent model. Not a crystal ball.
How the math works
Revenue compounds at your growth assumption for five fiscal years. Operating income equals revenue × margin. Unlevered free cash flow equals operating income × (1 − tax rate) minus net reinvestment. Discount those cash flows and a perpetual-growth terminal value, subtract assumed net debt, then divide by assumed shares.
What “price-implied” means
We solve for growth that matches your test price while holding every other input fixed. Other combinations can justify the same price. If no solution exists within −15% to 40% growth, we say so. This is not an observation of market consensus.
What the simulation shows
“Run 2,000 simulations” draws growth, margin and the discount rate from a normal distribution centred on your case with a fixed spread, values every draw, and plots the histogram. It measures how fragile your number is to small errors in your own assumptions. It is not a forecast of the stock and assigns no probability to real-world outcomes.
Where judgment matters
Margins and reinvestment stay constant across forecast years. The model excludes separate segment forecasts, future dilution, buybacks and a transition to mature economics. Terminal value can dominate. Stress assumptions, inspect the sources, and do not treat a model output as a recommendation.
