Key Operational & Dilution Risks
Reverse-DCF Solver: What Growth is Priced Into WIX?
The current share price only requires 2.1% 5-year CAGR (10.9% dilution-adjusted), well below historical growth of 15.6%. If the company maintains baseline execution, there is asymmetric upside.
Headline Reverse-DCF ignores Stock-Based Compensation (13.7% of revenue) and annual share dilution (1.6%/yr). Accounting for both requires 10.9% 5-year revenue CAGR to justify $103.89/sh on a true per-share economic cash flow basis.
