Price below modeled range
Why: Free cash flow is positive and in line with earnings, and the dividend is small, so a cash-flow DCF fits best.
The range depends on model assumptions and data; it is not a prediction or investment advice.

Market price below modeled range
Showing the EV/Sales (Rule of 40) 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. Low confidence: the modelled value is far from the market price, which usually means the model does not capture this company well (for example expected growth well above its history).
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 3.27 (-41.8%)
Not used: Treats all earnings as if paid out and ignores the cash kept for reinvestment, so it overstates value for companies that retain most profit.
-
DCF (trailing free cash flow)
— GBP 2.57 (-54.2%)
Not used: Not chosen: Free-cash-flow DCF ranks ahead of it for this company.
-
FCFF (steady state)
— GBP 1.98 (-64.6%)
Not used: Assumes only the long-run terminal growth rate from today, so it ignores the near-term growth expected.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— GBP 8.53 (+52.0%)
Not used: Used only when free cash flow is far below earnings even after averaging three years; a fixed 12x multiple also ignores sector differences.

Fade DCF (10-year growth fade)
— GBP 2.55 (-54.6%)
Not used: An alternative growth path (fading over 10 years) shown for comparison; the automatic choice does not use it.

— GBP 20.57 (+266.7%)
Not used: Used only for technology and communication companies whose cash-flow value is far below the price.

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.
