With Butterfly’s shares up strongly over the past year and the price sitting only modestly below the average analyst target, the key question for you is whether there is still upside here or if the market already reflects future growth.
Most Popular Narrative: 187% Overvalued
At a last close of $5.16 versus a narrative fair value of $1.80, according to Gil263 the market price and the story behind Butterfly Network are far apart.
In a nut shell, I saw Butterfly Network as a medical break through and bought a few hundred shares at a $1.55/shr. and the following news confirmed my reasoning of buying; On November 17, 2025, Butterfly Network’s subsidiary signed a five-year co-development and licensing agreement with Midjourney for exclusive access to its semiconductor-based ultrasound technology, securing a US$15 million upfront payment, US$10 million annual license fees, and further milestone and revenue-sharing potential.
Curious how a story built around ultrasound on a chip, new software platforms and future profit margins leads to a much lower fair value than today’s price.
Result: Fair Value of $1.80 (OVERVALUED)
However, this story can shift quickly if revenue growth of 15.57% stalls, or if ongoing net losses of US$77.064 million weigh more heavily on sentiment.
Next Steps
