By Quantifying this Story in Scenarios using the BPN Platform, we can explore how much ADT Equity share price upside or downside there may be at multiple future horizons from changes in investors' expectations about the odds of different levels of differentiation amongst competitors in maintaining its subscriber base, amongst other drivers. The market has priced in a decline in ADT revenues and increase in subscriber acquisition costs based on increasing competition. If ADT investors come to see upside from partnerships with tech/DIY offerings, there is lots of upside. If differentiation proves elusive, there is considerable downside as ADT maintains a heavy debt load.

By Quantifying the ADT Equity Story in Scenarios, we can explore the odds of combinations of its major drivers, from the odds that ADT loses significant share to new market entrants such as SimpliSafe, Vivint and DIY solutions, to the odds is continues to be a dominant player with its ADT Pulse product, to how those odds affect customer acquisition cost and lifetime value. Revenue multiple and valuation at a horizon like year-end 2021 can be influenced heavily by investors' outlook at year-end 2021 for long-term for these drivers. In the table below, explore the odds of year-end 2021 stock prices, and the combinations that influence them, by dragging the dot at the bottom to toggle some of our 100 cases.

Is ADT Equity "cheap" at 6.5x forward EBITDA, while some comparables trade at 9x or more? Well, that depends on whether its price will trade at a higher or lower multiple in the future, say in 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years. And as it does today, its multiple then may depend on the outlook at that time for peak economics, which may drive the outlook for cash production over the long-term. In the chart below, hover over 1 of the 100 cases in any of the 4 time horizons to see the outlook at that time. Click a case to zero in on it. And select horizons at the bottom to zero in on them too. Explore what could drive revenue multiple to, for example, above our 90th percentile of 12.0x in 5 years or below our 10th percentile of 0.5x.
