Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 21.4% to 20.4% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 36, DPO 34, DIO 60). At a 8.7% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (108% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 23.2x to Year 6 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $55.10 per share, suggesting DOCN is overvalued by 64.6% at the current price of $155.62.
Adjust parameters to explore scenarios. Changes are for exploration only and do not affect saved valuations.

Based on default parameters
Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc.'s cash flows over 10 years with analyst estimates for the first 3–5 years, fading toward long-term GDP growth for the remaining years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 21.4% to 5.9% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 36, DPO 34, DIO 60). At a 8.7% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (109% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 23.2x to Year 11 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $81.51 per share, suggesting DOCN is overvalued by 47.6% at the current price of $155.62.
