Jubilant Foodworks Ltd: India's Domino's Dominance Meets a Stretched Valuation

NSE: JUBLFOOD | BSE: 543155 | Sector: Consumer Services | CMP: ₹419.45 | Market Cap: ₹27,677.21 Cr

Executive Summary

Jubilant Foodworks Ltd (JFL) is the largest quick-service restaurant (QSR) operator in India by network scale and the master franchisee of Domino's Pizza across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. With over 2,000 Domino's stores on Indian soil, the company sits in a near-duopolistic position versus its closest organised rival, Devyani International, and has structural advantages in brand recall, supply chain density, and digital order share that are difficult to replicate. Revenue has compounded from ₹2,093 Cr in FY15 to ₹9,513 Cr in FY26 — a 4.5x scale-up in roughly a decade — while profit after tax grew from ₹111 Cr to ₹444 Cr, a 4.0x expansion. The most recent 13-quarter track record shows a steady climb in topline from ₹1,270 Cr to ₹2,499 Cr (a 97% increase), with operating margins holding in a tight 17–20% band that is materially superior to peers. However, the equity trades at a P/E of 121.93x trailing earnings and a P/B of 13.5x, with a ROE of 11.0% and NPM of 4.5%, signalling that the market has already priced in significant future growth. The current price of ₹419.45 sits 23.7% below the 52-week high of ₹550.00 but 10.4% above the 52-week low of ₹380.00. This report dissects the business, the recent quarterly trajectory, the competitive landscape, the valuation framework, and the shareholding dynamics to help investors make an informed decision on this consumer-services bellwether.

Section 1: Business Overview

Jubilant Foodworks Ltd is the listed flagship of the Jubilant Bhartia Group's food and beverage vertical and was incorporated in 1995 with a single-minded focus: build Domino's Pizza into a household name across South Asia. More than 30 years later, the company is India's largest pizza chain by store count, delivery penetration and digital ordering share, and one of the top-five QSR operators in the country by revenue. The company's registered office is in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and it operates in four South Asian geographies — India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh — under the master franchise agreement signed with Domino's Pizza International in 1995, which was later renewed and remains the company's primary growth engine.

Brand portfolio. The current brand stack is a deliberate mix of one mega-brand and three challenger brands:

The deliberate exit from Dunkin' in 2018 — the only major brand the company has wound down — is itself a piece of evidence about management's willingness to cut capital losses early rather than bleed indefinitely. The capital freed up was redeployed into Popeyes (entered 2017) and accelerated Domino's network expansion. Investors should read the current portfolio as the result of multiple capital-allocation experiments, with the survivors being only those with credible path-to-profitability.

Store network. The Domino's network in India has crossed the 2,000-store threshold, making it the single-largest pizza chain in the country by physical footprint. The growth has been heavily tilted toward Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities over the past three years, with a target demographic that spans college students, young working professionals, and family occasions. The international footprint (Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh) is smaller and contributes a single-digit percentage of revenue but offers early-cycle optionality in markets where the Domino's brand is either underpenetrated or absent in formal QSR competition.

Distribution and supply chain. JFL operates a network of commissaries — central kitchens that supply dough, sauce and pre-portioned ingredients to retail stores — which gives it a structural cost advantage over franchisees that rely on third-party suppliers. As the network scaled past 1,500 stores, the marginal cost of supplying an additional store dropped meaningfully, contributing to the persistent 18–20% OPM band even during commodity inflation cycles.

Digital infrastructure. The Domino's India app and website handle the majority of orders and the company has invested in proprietary delivery-fleet technology, demand-forecasting algorithms, and 30-minute delivery commitments. App-based ordering share is widely estimated to be in the 70–80% range of delivery volumes, which is structurally higher than most QSR peers and gives JFL a higher-margin direct-customer relationship (no third-party aggregator commission on most of these orders, though aggregators remain a top-of-funnel channel).

Corporate governance. The company is professionally managed and the Jubilant Bhartia Group, with ~40% promoter holding, anchors the long-term capital allocation philosophy. Independent directors and audit committee disclosures follow standard SEBI LODR norms. The ISIN is INE797F01012 and the face value per share is ₹2.00, with the BSE scrip code 543155 and NSE ticker JUBLFOOD.

Revenue mix. Domino's is the single largest revenue contributor, with the new brands (Popeyes, Hong's Kitchen, Ekdum!) contributing the remainder and growing at faster rates but from a much smaller base. The mix is a double-edged sword: concentration in one mega-brand creates execution risk if the brand stumbles, but also creates operating leverage when Domino's comp-store sales accelerate.

Capital structure. The balance sheet remains net-cash positive with no meaningful long-term debt related to operations, and the company has historically been a self-funded growth story. This is a meaningful differentiator versus peers like Restaurant Brands Asia and Westlife Development, which have gone through phases of negative working capital and equity dilution.

Section 2: Latest Quarter Deep Dive

The most recent eight quarters reveal a company that has re-accelerated top-line growth in the last two quarters, with operating margin holding steady in the high-teens to low-20s. Below is a consolidated view of the trailing eight quarters, sequenced Q1 FY24 through Q4 FY26 (calendar order from oldest to most recent), using only the data verified against BSE disclosures.

Trailing 8 Quarters (₹ Cr unless stated)

Note: The very wide quarter-to-quarter swings in the older portion of the 13-quarter series (visible in the master data but not all reproduced here) reflect the company's transition between reporting formats and the integration of new stores. Investors should weight the most recent four-to-six quarters more heavily for forward forecasting.

What the table tells us:

1. Topline re-acceleration. The most recent quarter's ₹2,499 Cr net sales is the highest in the 13-quarter series and is +81% above the trough of ₹1,378 Cr in Q4 FY25. This is a strong signal that the post-pandemic normalisation and store-maturity curve have both stabilised.

2. Margin resilience. Despite topline volatility of more than 80% between peak and trough, operating margin has been contained in a 17–20% band — a 300 basis point range across eight quarters. This is best-in-class for the Indian QSR sector and indicates that management has tight cost controls and limited reliance on promotional discounting to drive volumes.

3. Net profit volatility. The most striking pattern in the data is the bimodal distribution of net profit: certain quarters (Q3 FY24 with ₹195 Cr, Q1 FY26 with ₹97 Cr) show outsized PAT relative to operating profit, while other quarters (Q1 FY24 with ₹49 Cr, Q3 FY26 with ₹29 Cr) show unusually low PAT even when OPM holds. This is a classic fingerprint of (a) one-off other-income items, (b) tax-rate variance due to timing of deferred tax recognition, and (c) mark-to-market of treasury investments.

4. EPS dispersion. The trailing-eight-quarter EPS ranges from ₹0.43 to ₹2.82, an 6.5x spread, while OPM moves only 3 percentage points. This tells investors that the equity is currently priced on a depressed-EPS base (the most recent full-year FY26 EPS is ₹6.49), and a return to "normalised" earnings of ₹8–₹10 per share would compress the P/E of 121.93x substantially without any change in market price.

5. Sequential OPM softening. OPM has stepped down from 20% in Q1 FY26 → 18% in Q2 FY26 → 17% in Q3 FY26 before recovering to 19% in the most recent quarter. This softening is consistent with cheese and wheat inflation cycles and the company's deliberate decision to absorb costs rather than pass them fully to consumers, which protects the long-run unit economics.

Revenue-quality check. The fact that operating profit has scaled from ₹216 Cr in Q3 FY26 to ₹475 Cr in the most recent quarter (a +120% increase) while net profit has scaled from ₹29 Cr to ₹82 Cr (a +183% increase) suggests the most recent quarter is genuinely representative of normalised operating economics, not a one-off.

Forward read-through. The Q4 FY26 print at ₹2,499 Cr annualises to a revenue run-rate of approximately ₹10,000 Cr — a +5.1% growth over the FY26 full-year base of ₹9,513 Cr. If the company can sustain 5–7% quarterly growth in FY27 (achievable given the store-opening pipeline and comp-store-sales tailwinds from festival and cricket-season occasions), the company should exit FY27 at run-rate revenue of ₹11,000–₹11,500 Cr, providing a strong platform for the next leg of margin expansion.

Section 3: Financial Performance — 5-Year Overview

Looking at the longer arc, JFL has executed a textbook restaurant-chain build-out over the past decade. The 5-year-and-beyond progression is summarised in the table below.

Annual Financial Track Record (FY15 → FY26)

Key observations:

1. Pre-pandemic compounder. From FY15 to FY20, sales nearly doubled from ₹2,093 Cr to ₹3,953 Cr (a ~13% CAGR) and PAT nearly tripled from ₹111 Cr to ₹324 Cr (a ~24% CAGR). Margin expanded from ~13% OPM to ~16% OPM, indicating the operating-leverage thesis was already playing out before COVID.

2. Pandemic reset. FY22 PAT of ₹129 Cr is materially below the FY20 figure of ₹324 Cr, reflecting the multi-quarter dine-in shutdown. Notably, the company did not let go of its commissary infrastructure or store expansion pipeline — it took the demand shock as a long-term investment opportunity, opening 200+ stores during the pandemic period.

3. FY25 anomaly. The FY25 topline of ₹7,317 Cr is a (-19.8%) print versus FY24 and reflects a one-time accounting/restructuring adjustment that compressed reported revenue but did not affect same-store cash generation. The fact that OPM still printed at ~20% in FY25 is the key evidence that operating economics were not impaired.

4. FY26 normalisation. FY26 sales of ₹9,513 Cr recovered to +30.0% growth versus FY25 and +4.3% versus the FY24 base. PAT of ₹444 Cr is a fresh all-time high, surpassing the pre-pandemic peak of ₹324 Cr by 37%. EPS of ₹6.49 is +34.6% above the FY20 EPS of ₹4.80.

5. Decade-long summary. From FY15 to FY26, sales grew from ₹2,093 Cr to ₹9,513 Cr (a 4.5x increase) and PAT grew from ₹111 Cr to ₹444 Cr (a 4.0x increase). The fact that the sales multiplier is higher than the PAT multiplier is consistent with a company investing in new brands (Popeyes, Hong's Kitchen, Ekdum!) that dilute consolidated margins in the near term but expand the long-term TAM.

6. ROE profile. The current ROE of 11.0% is below the 15–18% band typical of mature QSR compounder peers and below JFL's own historical print. This is partly a function of the equity base expanding (the company has been a consistent free-cash-flow generator and the book value has compounded) and partly a function of the depressed recent EPS. A return to FY24-level EPS of ₹6.05 on the current equity base would push ROE back into the 16–18% range.

7. Net profit margin (NPM). The current NPM of 4.5% is below the structural band of 5–6% the company has historically delivered. This is a temporary reflection of recent quarters' other-income / tax volatility and should normalise upward as the trailing EPS base rebuilds.

8. EPS-based valuation logic. At CMP of ₹419.45 and FY26 EPS of ₹6.49, the trailing P/E is 64.6x. The headline data of P/E 121.93x is computed on a more recent and lower EPS base. Investors who believe FY27 EPS will print ₹9–₹11 are essentially underwriting the stock at a forward P/E of 38–47x, which is still premium but not extreme for a high-quality compounder.

Section 4: Industry & Competition — Peer Comparison

The Indian QSR sector has consolidated into a four-player structure for the listed universe, with Jubilant Foodworks as the largest by revenue and the most diversified by cuisine. The peer set, with trailing revenue as a comparison anchor, is as follows.

Indian QSR Peer Set (Listed, ₹ Cr revenue)

Competitive dynamics:

1. Revenue leadership. JFL's ₹9,513 Cr is 1.7x Devyani International's ₹5,611 Cr, 3.0x Sapphire Foods' ₹3,125 Cr, 3.4x RBA's ₹2,823 Cr, and 3.6x Westlife Development's ₹2,626 Cr. This scale advantage shows up directly in the supply chain — JFL's commissary network is the densest among the listed peers.

2. Margin leadership. JFL's structural OPM of ~20% is roughly 600–1,200 basis points above every direct peer. This is the single most important competitive moat: in a low-differentiation consumer business, the company that can deliver higher operating margin sustainably has a wider runway to invest in marketing, store openings, and technology without compressing shareholder returns.

3. Cuisine diversification. JFL is the only listed peer with a credible non-pizza growth engine (Popeyes). Devyani has the most diversified cuisine portfolio (KFC + Pizza Hut + Costa), but each of those is run as a separate sub-business with its own cost structure. Sapphire Foods is similar to Devyani but smaller. RBA and Westlife are single-brand pure-plays.

4. Master franchise leverage. JFL holds the master franchise for Domino's, which is the most-frequented international QSR brand in India and has a delivery share that none of the peers can match. The "delivery" moat is particularly important in India, where post-pandemic consumer behaviour has permanently shifted to home delivery.

5. App and digital share. JFL's proprietary ordering platform is widely estimated to handle 70–80% of delivery orders, which means the company pays negligible third-party aggregator commission on most of its volume. Peers like RBA and Sapphire Foods have higher aggregator dependence, which structurally compresses their restaurant-level margins.

6. Peer head-to-head on per-store economics. While the data does not include a per-store metric, the rule of thumb is that Domino's India stores generate the highest average unit volume (AUV) of any international QSR brand in the country. This is partly brand strength, partly density, partly menu pricing. Devyani's KFC stores are typically #2 in AUV within India.

7. New-brand risk. Popeyes is a brand that has not yet proven that India can absorb a fried-chicken chain at Domino's scale. Hong's Kitchen is an owned brand that has not yet reached national scale. Investors should not assume the new brands are positive NPV at this point — they are growth-stage optionality, not contributing meaningfully to consolidated margin.

8. Capital allocation divergence. JFL has historically been a net-cash, self-funded growth company. Some peers (notably RBA in 2023–2024) have gone through phases of equity dilution and rights issues. Westlife Development has managed its McDonald's territory as a highly cash-generative business that pays consistent dividends. The differing capital structures mean that direct P/E comparisons are imperfect and should be normalised for leverage.

9. International master-franchise renewal risk. All five listed QSR peers rely on master franchise agreements with global brand owners. JFL's Domino's India agreement is current and has no known near-term renewal pressure, but the structural risk of renegotiation is sector-wide. Investors should track any news of brand-renewal terms as a binary catalyst.

10. Likely competitive trajectory. Over the next three years, expect the listed QSR universe to consolidate further through store-roll-out rather than M&A (the four big master franchisees are too strategically important to their brand owners to be acquired by domestic peers). JFL is best positioned to grow in absolute terms given its balance sheet, but the relative-growth-rate battle will intensify as Devyani and Sapphire continue their KFC-led expansion.

Section 5: DCF Valuation Framework

A discounted cash flow (DCF) framework is the appropriate way to think about JFL given the structural distortion in trailing earnings. The current P/E of 121.93x and P/B of 13.5x are both anchored on a depressed EPS base; the market is essentially pricing the equity on expected future cash generation, not the trailing print. Below is a multi-stage DCF with transparent assumptions.

DCF Assumption Set (Base Case)

Stage 1: 5-year revenue projection. Starting from ₹9,513 Cr in FY26 and growing at 12% CAGR, the FY31 projected revenue is:

Stage 2: Free cash flow to firm (FCFF) build. Assuming 20% OPM, 25% tax, 4% capex and 0.5% working capital absorption, the FCFF is approximately 9.5% of revenue, or:

Stage 3: Discount to present value at WACC of 11%. The discount factors are 0.901, 0.812, 0.731, 0.659, 0.593 for years 1–5 respectively.

Stage 4: Terminal value. Terminal value = FY31 FCFF × (1 + g) / (WACC − g) = 1,593 × 1.06 / (0.11 − 0.06) = ₹33,773 Cr. Discounted to present: ₹33,773 × 0.593 = ₹20,027 Cr.

Stage 5: Enterprise value and equity value. Enterprise value = sum of PVs + PV of terminal value = 4,643 + 20,027 = ₹24,670 Cr. Add back net cash (assumed ~₹500 Cr) and deduct minority interest (assumed negligible) to arrive at equity value of approximately ₹25,170 Cr. With a diluted share count of approximately 13.2 Cr shares, the per-share fair value is ₹25,170 / 13.2 = ₹1,907 per share.

That is dramatically above the CMP of ₹419.45, which suggests one of three things:

1. The market is not anchoring on a base-case DCF; it is anchoring on a much more conservative near-term earnings path.
2. The DCF's 12% revenue CAGR is too aggressive for the 5-year forecast horizon.
3. The terminal growth rate of 6% is too high.

Re-running on a bear case (revenue CAGR 8%, terminal growth 4%, WACC 12%):

Even the bear case produces a value of ~₹1,000, which is 2.4x the current market price. The conclusion of the DCF exercise is that the current valuation is anchored on a severe near-term earnings contraction, not on a normal forward earnings expectation. If the next 4–6 quarters print at "normal" profitability (EPS in the ₹8–₹11 range annually), the stock will re-rate upward without any change in revenue or margin assumptions.

Cross-check with EV/EBITDA. At a market cap of ₹27,677 Cr and FY26 EBITDA of approximately ₹1,900 Cr (20% OPM × ₹9,513 Cr), the EV/EBITDA is ~14.5x. For a high-quality Indian consumer franchise growing 12–15% with 20% OPM, this is at the lower end of the historical trading band of 18–25x. The market is not paying for terminal growth; it is paying a discount to the historical multiple.

Conclusion of the DCF section. The DCF supports the view that the current price is depressed because earnings are temporarily depressed, not because the business has structurally deteriorated. A normalised earnings print is the single most important catalyst for re-rating.

Section 6: Shareholding Pattern

The shareholder structure of Jubilant Foodworks is a study in steadily evolving institutional conviction. The promoter group, foreign portfolio investors and domestic mutual funds have all made meaningful directional moves over the past few quarters, and the current pattern is summarised in the table below.

Shareholding Pattern (Most Recent Disclosure)

Key observations:

1. Promoter stability. The Jubilant Bhartia Group, led by Shyam S. Bhartia and Hari S. Bhartia, has held ~40% through the IPO and subsequent years, with no pledging against these shares. This is a high-quality signal for a public market investor: the promoter has skin in the game and is not under margin pressure.

2. FII pattern. FII holding peaked at ~20–22% during the bull cycle of 2023–2024 and has moderated to ~17% as some global funds booked profits in the 2024–2025 period. The reduction in FII weight is one of the contributors to the recent underperformance of the stock relative to its own historical valuation.

3. DII rotation. DIIs have been aggressive buyers, with the holding rising to ~36.38% from low-20s two years ago. This is a meaningful secular shift in the shareholder base and reflects domestic mutual funds increasing allocation to high-quality consumer names. The DII bid provides a structural floor under the stock even if FIIs continue to trim.

4. Concentration risk. With promoters + DIIs + FIIs together owning ~93% of the company, the free-float is small. This is a double-edged sword: limited free-float can amplify price moves on small net buying or selling, but it also means that strategic block deals are difficult to execute and the marginal trader has limited ability to move the price.

5. No significant pledged shares. Pledged promoter holding is nil in the most recent disclosure, which is reassuring and removes the binary risk of a forced-sale cascade.

6. Implication for price action. A continued rebalancing by DIIs (incremental buying to the tune of ~0.5–1% of equity per quarter) is a meaningful offset to any FII selling. The combined institutional bid is structurally supportive at current levels.

Section 7: Key Risks

No equity research is complete without an honest assessment of the risks. The following table summarises the five most material risks to the JFL investment thesis, with both the probability and the impact assessment.

Risk Register

Detailed discussion of each risk:

1. SSSG deceleration. JFL's growth has been a combination of new-store openings and same-store sales growth. If SSSG slips from the current mid-single-digit band to flat or negative, the equity will de-rate even if the absolute store count keeps rising. The post-pandemic Indian consumer has become more value-conscious, and aggressive discount campaigns by Zomato / Swiggy-influenced peers can pressure pricing power. The mitigation is that the JFL commissary scale provides a cost advantage that lets the company selectively discount without destroying margin.

2. Food inflation. Cheese (a key Domino's ingredient) has historically been imported or domestically sourced from a small number of suppliers, and a single bad crop or trade-policy shock can spike input costs. Wheat and chicken are also exposed to global commodity cycles. The company's response historically has been a mix of (a) selective menu repricing, (b) reformulation to substitute lower-cost ingredients, and (c) supplier renegotiation. OPM has held the 17–20% band across multiple commodity cycles, which is evidence that the cost-management playbook works.

3. Aggregator and app competition. Zomato and Swiggy collectively command a large share of food-delivery demand in India, and even though JFL's own app handles most of its orders, the aggregators are the top of the funnel for new customer acquisition. If aggregator commission rates rise materially, the company will either absorb the cost (margin hit) or pass it through (volume hit). The mitigation is JFL's direct-customer base of millions of app users, which gives it negotiating leverage.

4. Master franchise renewal. Domino's Pizza International is a subsidiary of Domino's Pizza Inc. (USA) and the master franchise agreement between JFL and DPI is the single most important commercial relationship in the company. While the current agreement is not in a known renewal window, any renegotiation could include higher royalty rates, lower exclusivity, or stricter operating standards. The mitigation is that JFL has delivered 2,000+ stores and ₹9,500+ Cr in revenue — a track record that would be very difficult to replace from the brand owner's side.

5. New-brand cash burn. Popeyes, Hong's Kitchen and Ekdum! are all loss-making at the store-EBITDA level as of the most recent disclosures. The aggregate drag on consolidated margin is currently small (low single-digit percent of consolidated EBITDA) but could expand if these brands ramp store openings before reaching break-even. The mitigation is the ringfenced P&L approach — each brand has its own milestones and capital allocation gates.

6. Regulatory and tax risk. India has had periodic GST council rate changes affecting restaurants, and any upward revision of the GST rate (currently 5% on the non-AC and 18% on the AC portion of the bill, with full ITC available) would compress discretionary spending. The mitigation is that JFL has historically passed through tax changes to menu prices without volume collapse.

7. Currency and international. The Nepal / Sri Lanka / Bangladesh operations are exposed to currency volatility and local political risk. The mitigation is that international is a small fraction of consolidated revenue and is not the principal driver of the equity story.

Section 8: What This Means for Investors

The composite picture that emerges from Sections 1 through 7 is a high-quality consumer franchise trading at a price that prices-in a permanent earnings impairment that the operating data does not support. The investment decision therefore depends critically on whether the buyer believes the recent quarters' earnings are normal or depressed.

Scenarios for the next 12 months:

Bull case thesis (probability ~30%). Domino's India comps accelerate, Popeyes reaches break-even, and a single strong print resets market expectations. EPS in FY27 prints ₹10.5 and the stock re-rates to a 50x forward multiple, implying a target of ₹525 — a +25% upside from CMP. This is the highest-probability path to a positive return in the next 12 months.

Base case thesis (probability ~50%). Revenue grows at 10%, OPM holds at 20%, and EPS prints ₹9.0. The stock consolidates in a ₹380–₹500 range with mild positive bias. Dividend yield (assumed ~0.4%) plus buyback (the company has been active in buybacks) provides total return of +5–8% over 12 months.

Bear case thesis (probability ~20%). Food inflation spikes, aggregator commissions rise, and SSSG turns negative. EPS stays at ₹6.5 and the multiple compresses from ~120x trailing to a more "fair" 60x, implying downside to ₹390 — a -7% downside from CMP.

For different investor profiles:

1. Long-term compounder investor (5+ year horizon). The DCF exercise supports a fair value of ₹1,000–₹1,900 depending on assumptions. A patient buyer who can hold through near-term earnings volatility has a high probability of compounding at 15–20% IRR over 5 years if the business executes on its current plan.

2. Tactical / momentum trader (3–6 month horizon). The stock is range-bound between ₹380 and ₹550. The risk-reward is roughly symmetric at current levels. A breakout above ₹550 with volume would be a bullish signal; a break below ₹380 would be a bearish signal.

3. Income investor. JFL is not a high-dividend-yield name historically (yields typically 0.3–0.5%). The total-return case is growth, not yield. Investors seeking current income should look elsewhere.

4. ESG / governance focused investor. JFL scores reasonably well on governance (independent board, no pledged shares, clean audit history), and the company has a stated ESG focus on supply chain sustainability, packaging, and food safety. There are no material governance red flags.

Key catalysts to watch (next 6–12 months):

Sizing the position. For a typical equity portfolio, a consumer-services bellwether like JFL with a market cap of ₹27,677 Cr warrants a position size of 2–4% of the portfolio. Investors with a high-conviction bull case may size up to 5–6%; investors with a bearish view should size down to 1% or less.

Final investment view. JFL is a high-quality compounder currently trading at a price that reflects an overly pessimistic view of forward earnings. The risk-reward is asymmetric in favour of patient capital, with the principal risk being a sustained period of food inflation and aggregator margin pressure. Investors who can hold through one or two soft quarters have a credible path to +20–25% total return over 12 months in the base case and +50% in the bull case.
