Of the base case valuation
Growth needed to justify today's price
At a 8.0% discount rate, today's price already assumes 20.7% annual free cash flow growth for ten years. Your base case assumes 20.0%, so the market is paying for growth you are not forecasting.
Curve holds terminal growth at 2.5%, years 6 to 10 at half the first-stage rate, and applies no safety margin.
Free cash flow history
The most recent period is the base every projection starts from. Compounded, that history is +32.0% a year.

Frequently asked
What is Clearwater Analytics Holdings's (CWAN) fair value?+
Intrinsiqq's two-stage discounted cash flow (DCF) model estimates an intrinsic value of about $23.43 per share for CWAN. It projects recent free cash flow forward at a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate, then discounts those cash flows back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $17.58. The output moves with the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best read as a range, not a single number. You can change every assumption with the sliders on this tab.
Is Clearwater Analytics Holdings overvalued based on a DCF?+
At $24.56, CWAN trades above the base-case intrinsic value of about $23.43, a 4.6% premium over that estimate, so on this model it looks overvalued. A DCF is only one lens: a premium can be justified if the business grows faster or is higher quality than the base case assumes, which is exactly what the sliders let you test.
What growth is priced into Clearwater Analytics Holdings?+
The base case grows CWAN's free cash flow at about 20.0% a year before fading, against roughly 32.0% historical free-cash-flow growth. If the price implies growth well above what the company has actually delivered, the market is paying for optimism; if below, expectations are modest. Adjust the growth assumption on this tab to see what the current price is really betting on.
What is a good margin of safety for Clearwater Analytics Holdings?+
A margin of safety is the discount to intrinsic value you demand before buying, to protect against being wrong on the inputs. Intrinsiqq applies 25% by default, which turns CWAN's $23.43 intrinsic estimate into a $17.58 entry. Wider margins suit less predictable businesses; you can set your own on this tab.
