price 62% below the AI fair value

The price needs 51.0% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 35.0% is achievable, at a 15.0% margin.

The stock trades at roughly 46x trailing revenue while still losing money, which looks expensive until you realize almost all the cash burn is growth capex. If Red Cat can keep growing 30-40% a year and eventually reach 15% margins, today's price starts to look reasonable. The biggest risk is that dilution keeps eating ownership even if the business succeeds.
