What the price assumes
Your guesses, our math
Move the sliders to your own view of ALEC. Starting points are the company's recent numbers (it isn't profitable yet, so the margin starts at a 10% guess).
Sales in 5 years$12M
Profit in 5 years$1M
Price these guesses point to$0.11-94% vs $1.82 todayAbout -43% a year, before dividends
What today's price needs: with a 10% margin and a 15x P/E, sales would have to grow about 57% a year for 5 years just to match today's price.
Simple math on your guesses, not a forecast or a price target. Real results depend on many things these sliders leave out.
