How we got here

The estimate is computed from SBMW'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 SBMW today; the exact method, and where it goes wrong, is on the methodology page.

Revenue growth (YoY)+9.1%

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

Profit margin3.3%

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 equity1.7%

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

Beta1.00

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