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 within modeled range
Showing the DCF (trailing free cash flow) you selected on the company card, using 5.51% growth, 2.4% terminal growth and 9.2% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 5.51%, discount rate 9.20%, terminal growth 2.40% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 5.5% (sector default 5.3%, own revenue history 9.9%, analyst revenue consensus 3.4%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 5.8% a year (High confidence), anchored to a 7% market return and adjusted for how this company ranks against others. A ranking aid, not a prediction. See the full forecast.
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 3.4% a year; the growth assumption used is 5.5%.

EPS-based Gordon proxy

— GBP 2.55 (-54.7%)
Not used: An alternative growth path (fading over 10 years) shown for comparison; the automatic choice does not use it.

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.
