The valuation section next tests which side the current numbers support. ## Most Popular Narrative: 10% Overvalued SentinelOne last closed at $21.82 compared with a widely followed fair value narrative of $19.87, which frames the current enthusiasm as relatively full and sensitive to execution. > *In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be $1.7 billion, earnings will come to $196.5 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 48.1x, assuming you use a discount rate of 8.5%.* *Read the complete narrative.* Analysts are incorporating brisk revenue growth, a sizeable margin swing and a premium earnings multiple to arrive at that fair value. It may be useful to consider which element contributes the most and how sensitive the outcome is to even small changes in those assumptions. Result: Fair Value of $19.87 (OVERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, SentinelOne still carries real execution risk, including reliance on large partners and potential pressure on margins if new AI offerings take longer to contribute.
