5-year outlook: Not shown because confidence is low: EV/EBITDA (12x) is somewhat apart.
Other models: GBP 2.74–5.34 (median 4.04). The recommended value is in line with them.
Why: Free cash flow is positive and in line with earnings, and the dividend is small, so a cash-flow DCF fits best.
Details and the full model are below.
Market price below modeled range
Free-cash-flow DCF using Fiscal year 2026 reported free cash flow, with cash, debt, and shares from the latest report. Base assumptions are 2.67% growth, 2.9% terminal growth, and 10.4% discount. Low/high cases vary growth by 2 and terminal growth/discount by 1 percentage point; this illustrative range is not a statistical confidence interval or investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 2.67%, discount rate 10.40%, terminal growth 2.90% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 2.7% (sector default 7.0%, own revenue history -3.2%, analyst revenue consensus 3.4%).
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 3.4% a year; the growth assumption used is 2.7%.

Margin = (value − price) / value, so it is measured against the value and reads lower than the upside to value, which is measured against the price. Positive means the price is below that case.
At GBP 1.17 the market implies about this annual free-cash-flow growth for 5 years (terminal 2.9%, discount 10.4%).
Compare: the market implies -8.4% a year, this model assumes 2.7%. The model is more optimistic than the price, which is why it reads as undervalued.
