I’ve seen a lot of tweets and DM’s over the past 16 hours asking for my 2021 price targets — I have no clue what this stock will do in the short term although I think $250 in the next 6 months is possible.

I care more about the next 6 quarters so here’s my take…
I've been saying for a while that I thought $UPST would do $700M+ in 2021 and $1.2B+ in 2022 but I'm raising those estimates.

Now I think $UPST will do $800M+ in 2021 and $1.4B+ in 2022

I would expect EBITDA margins to continue increasing over the next 6 quarters.
Adjusted EBITDA margins were 31% in 2021 Q2, it’s possible they get to 40% by end of 2022

If we use 40% adjusted EBITDA margins and $1.4B in revenues we get $560M of adjusted EBITDA for 2022.
Considering my estimated 75% revenue growth rate in 2022 (still conservative), gross margins, operating margins, profitability, optionality, TAM, etc it's very fair to put a 65x EBITDA multiple on this getting us to $36.4B / 94.9M shares (fully diluted) = $384 year end 2022 PT

$UPST just smashed Q2 earnings beyond my wildest expectations

Q2 revenues were $194M > up 1,018% YoY

Bank partners originated 286,864 loans totaling $2.8 billion > up 1,605% YoY

Contribution profit was $96.7M > up 2,171% YoY

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 31% vs -18% in 2020 Q2
....and to top it all off they raised 2021 guidance from $600M to $750M which represents 221.3% YoY growth 😂

This is the best beat & raise I've seen in a while.

$UPST is up 15% AH but this is just the beginning

This is what I posted in my Stocktwits room today — guess I was a little conservative with my numbers 😜 Image

Very solid Q2 numbers from $DMTK -- they beat on every metric like billable volumes, assay revenues and total revenues

Billable volumes: +267% YoY
Assay revenues: +349% YoY
Total revenues: +269% YoY

Full year guidance for assay revenues: +171% to 218% YoY
I'm very pleased with these results. The numbers are still small but $DMTK is headed in the right direction.

The $DMTK story gets even better moving forward b/c we get the launch of Luminate in 2021 Q4 (estimated) and Carcinome in 2022 Q2 (estimated)

Okay FinTwit, we have the links setup from @JW_Orlando and @RC_Orlando so you can start booking your rooms for the @FinTwitConf during Columbus Day weekend (October 8-10, 2021)

Rooms: book.passkey.com/go/FinTwit2021…

Tickets: eventbrite.com/e/fintwit-conf…

Website: FinTwit2021.com
We have 200 rooms blocked off at the JW Marriott Orlando (@JW_Orlando) and 150 rooms blocked off at The Ritz Carlton Orlando (@RC_Orlando)

We negotiated a room rate of $239/night at both hotels -- they are right next to each other and share amenities including the pools.
Once these 350 rooms are gone there's no guarantee we'll be able to get more rooms at these two properties and there's no guarantee the rate will be $239/night so hurry up and book ASAP.

The actual conference on Saturday October 9th will be in the ballroom at the JW Marriott
