Current price reflects execution expectations above 25% growth — not unreasonable for quality businesses.
Range: Bear $32 → Bull $71. Current price implies expectations above the base case, closer to bull expectations.
Current price reflects assumptions at the upper end of our valuation range (bull case: $71).

Bull Case

  • Bull case ($71) with 30% growth, 9% discount rate

Bear Case

  • Bear case ($32) implies 88% downside at 20% growth, 12% discount
  • Trading 83% above base case — execution must exceed assumptions to justify
  • Price exceeds bull case ($71) — requires exceptional execution

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RDDT stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

RDDT trades at $258.93 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $38.01, implying -85% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 25.0% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($55.76) suggests limited upside.

What is RDDT's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $216M, projected at 25.0% 5Y CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth), discounted at 10.0% WACC, with 3.0% terminal growth. Terminal value calculated via Gordon Growth Model: TV = FCF₅ × (1+g) / (WACC−g). After deducting $-535M net debt and dividing by 0.18B shares: Bear $25.95 | Base $38.01 | Bull $55.76. Current price $258.93 implies -85% to base case.

How is RDDT's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 25.0% growth derived from 5-year historical CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth, with 8% floor and 25% cap).

② Calculate terminal value at year 5 using perpetuity growth model with g=3.0%.

③ Discount all cash flows to PV using WACC=10.0%.

④ Sum PV of explicit period + PV of terminal value = Enterprise Value ($6.32B).

⑤ Subtract net debt, divide by shares outstanding.

Sensitivity analysis available above—adjust WACC ±2% or growth ±3% to stress-test the valuation. Implied EV/FCF multiple: 29.3x.
