Our note on each quarter Toast files

Where Toast stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to June 2026 was $6.80bn, up 23.0% on a year earlier, about the same pace as a quarter earlier. That growth ranks 4 of 23 among the internet and data companies we cover. Free-cash-flow margin held at 8.5%. Operating margin widened to 6.3% from 3.4%. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C+. It passes 2 of our 2 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $17.82 a share, against a share price of $32.21. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 32.5% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, close to the 31.9% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 3, 2026 (estimated)

Toast, Inc.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 23.0% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 8.5%. Where it stands out: days sales outstanding of 8 days ranks 4 of 162 application software companies we cover. Where it lags: gross margin of 26.7% ranks 144 of 160 application software companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$18 per share in the base case (~$14–$23 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 13.4% while net income grew 117.0%: a 104pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Fast growth. Revenue grew 23.0% over the last 12 months, against a median of 12.0% for application software companies we cover.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.1% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $1.0bn.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 3 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • Priced above our value. The share price of $33.42 is 47% above our value per share of $18.
  • High earnings multiple. The shares trade at 42 times the last 12 months' earnings, so expectations are demanding.
  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 46% and a beta of 1.0 against the S&P 500.
  • Insiders selling. 7 insiders sold $28M of stock over the past 365 days and none bought (81% under pre-set trading plans).
  • Below peers: gross margin. Gross margin of 26.7% ranks 144 of 160 application software companies we cover (median 69.8%).

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 33.0% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is close to the 31.9% a year revenue growth Toast has delivered.

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($33.48, Nov 3, 2026).

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Toast, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($210M, FY2026 Q2 TTM), growing 20% and 19.5% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 20% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$14–~$23 ; that spread sets a 15% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Toast, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $210M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Toast, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.3%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.18 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$18 ~$14–$23 Primary model, counts double

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Toast, Inc.’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Includes results

A results date falls inside these options’ life. Implied volatility is meant to be higher for that, so we do not call it rich.

  • Implied is 1.44× the last 60 days’ realised volatility .
  • Puts are priced 2 points richer than calls (25-delta): the market is paying up for downside protection, which favours selling puts over calls.
  • Why: an earnings date falls inside the option's life, so implied volatility is expected to be high.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

TOST Toast, Inc. Grade B $33.64

Own 100 shares, sell the $35.00 call expiring November 27, 2026 (25 days) for $1.50 a share — $150 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $1.50, ask $1.83, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:37 New York time with TOST at $33.64. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If TOST ends below $35.00: you keep your shares and the $150 — 4.5% extra on the position, 65.1% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $35.00: your shares are sold at $35.00, a total return of 8.5% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$18.

Results are expected around November 3, 2026, before this option expires: the share price can jump on results, and the premium partly reflects that.

Collar

Own the shares, buy the $30.00 put and sell the $40.00 call, both expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days).

  • Net cost of $0.64 a share ($64.00 per contract of 100 shares).
  • Worst case at expiry: -12.7%, if the shares fall below $30.00 (-10.8% from today).
  • Best case at expiry: +17.0%, if the shares rise above $40.00 (+18.9%); gains beyond that go to the call buyer.

Offered because the shares trade at or above our fair value of $18.00: a way to hold on with a floor under the price, paid for by giving up upside the model does not expect. Strikes near 25-delta; the put at its ask and the call at its bid. Protection has a cost over time: research on protective puts finds they have usually lowered returns.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
