Fair value
How we estimate itWe don't publish a fair value for Spectral AI. It needs a US-dollar share price, at least two valuation methods with positive inputs (earnings, EBITDA, book value or sales) and, for companies with several share classes, classes that trade at the same price.
Valuation over time

- Own 5-year median 1.9
