Hey, the model starts with the previous years growth numbers projected out 5 years. You are meant to give your assumptions to get to a valuation.

NVDA revenue grew 125% last year so projecting that out for 5 straight years results in a very high value but is most likely inaccurate!

It sounds like a couple people in this thread have misunderstood how to use your tool. Perhaps you want to hide the projected numbers at least until they start to put in their own assumptions.

ah that makes sense. thank you for clarifying. i was expecting a fair valuation based on YOUR assumptions and the value I misconstrued was that YOUR assumptions are better than mine so I must pay you.
