Wave Life Sciences (WVE) intrinsic value and fair value
The calculator grows one of Wave Life Sciences's per-share figures (earnings, free cash flow, revenue, book value or dividends) for a few years, puts an exit multiple on it, and discounts the result back at the yearly return you want. The answers below use its starting inputs for WVE; this is analysis, not investment advice.
Frequently asked
What is Wave Life Sciences's (WVE) intrinsic value?+
With Intrinsiqq's starting inputs, Wave Life Sciences's fair value is about $9.62 a share, based on its revenue per share. That assumes revenue per share of $0.36 grows about 30.0% a year for 5 years, the stock then trades at 11.6 times revenue, and you want a 10.0% yearly return. Every input can be changed on the page; the result is a model, not a forecast.
Is Wave Life Sciences overvalued?+
At $3.62, the price is 62% below that fair value of $9.62, and buying at today's price would return about 33.7% a year if those inputs hold. Whether that is cheap or dear depends on whether you believe the growth and the exit multiple, which is what the calculator lets you test. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
What growth does the Wave Life Sciences valuation assume?+
Revenue per share grows about 30.0% a year to start, its own recent growth per share (three years for a company not yet profitable, five otherwise), capped at 20%. The exit multiple starts at its own median over five years.
What is a good margin of safety for Wave Life Sciences?+
A margin of safety is the cushion you want below the fair value before buying, in case the inputs are wrong. The calculator uses 25%, which puts the buy-below price at $7.21. Less predictable businesses deserve a wider cushion, or a higher desired return.
