How we got here

The estimate is computed from GGT's reported fundamentals, with a growth assumption that is deliberately capped: small changes to an uncapped growth or terminal assumption can justify any price, and a number that can justify anything means nothing. These are the inputs the model holds for GGT today; the exact method, and where it goes wrong, is on the methodology page.

Earnings multiple3.3x

The starting point is earnings power: what the business earns per share, and what the market currently pays for each unit of it.

Revenue growth (YoY)+80.2%

The trailing growth rate informs the growth assumption, which the model caps deliberately: uncapped growth assumptions can justify any price.

Profit margin953.5%

Margins tell the model how much of each unit of revenue survives as profit, and how much room there is for that to erode.

Return on equity21.0%

Persistent high returns on capital are what a moat looks like in the accounts, and they feed the moat score alongside the valuation.

Beta0.86

A volatility measure against the wider market. A jumpier share earns a larger discount for risk, which lowers the estimate.
