Repriced or dip?
Dip: business intact
The price is 27% below its 52-week high (Jul 16), but the business held up: revenue +6.5%, earnings per share +11.9%, shares outstanding fewer shares, each owns more.
Some numbers held up (revenue +6.5%, earnings per share +11.9%, shares outstanding fewer shares, each owns more), others slipped (revenue growth rate −9.9 pts). The price is 27% below its 52-week high.
The price is 27% below its 52-week high, and the business changed too: revenue growth rate −9.9 pts.
Within 10% of its 52-week high, so there is no dip to judge yet.

Business numbers as reported at the high (12 months to Mar 31, 2026) vs the latest filing (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). Each measure is scored from −1 (business changed) to +1 (business intact) and weighted: revenue, earnings per share, free cash flow, operating margin, revenue growth rate, share count, net cash and the move vs its sector. 60 or more reads as a dip, 40 or less as a repricing.

Data-based read, not advice.
Priced in
How much growth the market assumed at the 52-week high, the low and today (a reverse DCF).
52-wk high: P/E 28.3×; 52-wk low: P/E 15.4×; now: P/E 18.4×.
| High | Low | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $442.53Jul 16 | $155.92Feb 5 | $321.88 |
| P/E | 28.3× | 15.4× | 18.4× |
What this means: a lower P/E than at the high means you pay less for each dollar of profit than buyers did then.
How it’s computed
Banks, insurers and lenders: cash flow includes deposits and loans, so a cash-flow model doesn't fit; we show P/E at each point instead. P/E = that day's close × diluted shares / 12-month net income, using only the filings that were public on that day.
Valuation
What we estimate it's worth, and how it ranks on value vs every stock we cover.
Fair value estimate
Estimate unreliable for DAVE: earnings swing too much for a book-value model (return on equity ranged from -175% to 105% across FY2021–2025 and the latest 12 months). We’d rather show nothing than a made-up number.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much DAVE moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Swings much more than the market, and its own price swings are 5.5× the S&P 500’s.
