Applying Risk Discounts

Method 1: Cumulative Discount (Conservative)

Starting valuation: $7B (base case with premiums)

Apply all discounts cumulatively:

  • After geographic: $7B × 0.85 = $5.95B
  • After monetization: $5.95B × 0.80 = $4.76B
  • After mobile: $4.76B × 0.90 = $4.28B
  • After competitive: $4.28B × 0.85 = $3.64B
  • After regulatory: $3.64B × 0.93 = $3.39B
  • After technology: $3.39B × 0.95 = $3.22B

Result: $3.2 billion (very conservative)


Method 2: Independent Risk Adjustment (Moderate)

Calculate probability-weighted expected discount:

RiskBase DiscountProbability of OccurringExpected Discount
Geographic-15%100% (present)-15.0%
Monetization-20%40% (uncertain)-8.0%
Mobile-10%30% (may matter)-3.0%
Competitive-15%60% (likely)-9.0%
Regulatory-7%80% (increasingly likely)-5.6%
Technology-5%30% (manageable)-1.5%

Total Expected Discount: -42.1%

Starting valuation: $7B Risk-adjusted: $7B × 0.579 = $4.05B

Result: $4.0 billion (moderate)


Method 3: Scenario-Weighted Analysis (Balanced)

Best Case (Few risks materialize)20%$8.0B$1.6B
Base Case (Some risks occur)50%$5.5B$2.75B
Downside (Multiple risks)25%$3.5B$875M
Worst Case (Severe risks)5%$1.5B$75M

Expected Value: $5.35 billion

Result: $5.0-5.5 billion (balanced scenario approach)
