Scenario Engine. In this guide: describing a what-if, reading the results, presets, and saving a scenario.

The Scenario Engine, under Analyze, models a what-if for one company. Enter a ticker and a horizon in years, then describe the scenario in plain English: a change to revenue, margins, costs, the tax rate or the discount rate.

Run scenario rebuilds the company's projected statements and a discounted cash flow model, then shows the modeled change in value against the base case. It is a model result under stated assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

Below that are the drivers it parsed from your words, so you can check how it read them, and the revenue path, scenario against base case. The cards above give both modeled equity values.

Further down, sources and assumptions list each input with its source and date, from base revenue and shares outstanding to the discount rate and terminal growth. A coloured dot marks each one as taken from a filing, derived, or a model default.

Choosing a preset fills in a ready-made scenario and runs it, with no need to press Run. Here, a margin squeeze: the drivers and the results below change with it.

Save current names the scenario and saves it to your account. Choose it from the saved list later to run it again.
