Market-Implied Probability Reconciliation

Given these scenario EVs, what probability weights would the market need to assign to produce the current market-implied value of $5/share?

ScenarioCore ADAS EVPer ShareImplied Prob.Weighted Contrib.
bull$6B$750.0%$3
base$2B$38.7%$0
bear$0B$08.7%$0
distressed($1B)$-18.7%$-0
acquisition$5B$524.0%$1

Note: These probabilities apply to core ADAS's contribution to MBLY equity. The segment generates 90% of current revenue and funds the entire R&D budget. Intel overhang is the dominant variable.

Target contribution: $5/sh. Residual: $0.0/sh.
