What Butterfly Network does

Maker of a handheld, whole-body ultrasound device using semiconductor chip technology instead of traditional piezoelectric crystals.

Sells the probe once and then bills a recurring software subscription for cloud storage and AI tools, so revenue per user depends on subscription renewal. Founded by Jonathan Rothberg, it came to the stock market through a blank-check merger in 2021.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
