Three scenarios for where FORM stock could go
The bull case prices FORM at 35x on FY1 earnings, assuming continued execution and no meaningful deceleration in the core business.
At 27x on FY1 earnings, the base case reflects a reasonable but not stretched valuation. It prices in continued growth without assuming an exceptional setup.
If investor confidence fades or macro conditions deteriorate, a 44x multiple contraction could push FORM down roughly 72% from where it trades now.
