The price needs 8.0% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 16.0% is achievable, at a 11.0% margin.
Acast needs to grow revenue at 24% a year for a decade just to justify today's price if margins stay where they are. Even if margins rise to 11% thanks to video ads and better European execution, the company can realistically deliver only about 16% growth. That gap means the stock is expensive. The podcast ad market is growing, but Acast's low switching costs and big-tech competition limit how much pricing power it can ever have.
