What the price assumes
Your guesses, our math
Move the sliders to your own view of NIQ. 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$6.8B
Profit in 5 years$675M
Price these guesses point to$34.34+72% vs $19.92 todayAbout +12% a year, before dividends
What today's price needs: with a 10% margin and a 15x P/E, sales could shrink about 2.2% a year for 5 years and still 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.
