I think we're in agreement here then, the valuations follow the fact that these companies can operationally grow much quicker than others.


Sure, they have. So, they certainly can. The question for Atlassian is how fast.

20-30% doesn't get you to a justification for Atlassian's peak value. It doesn't inspire "the next Microsoft" vibes.

Maybe after 10-15 years of growth at this rate, it would... but the market's not paying these prices for that.

Atlassian becomes an acquisition target if stock prices reflect a 20% rate of growth.


Since founders hold ~90% voting power combined, no, it's not gonna become an acquisition target.
