Forecast

Financial forecast

Project revenue, EBITDA, net income and free cash flow for the next 5 or 10 years. Growth starts at the same rate the valuation uses and fades to the long-run rate, with margins held at today's level. Bear and bull cases move growth by the company's own revenue volatility. It is a model of what the assumptions imply, not a prediction.

Price updated 06 Nov 2026 14:48; Fiscal year 2026; Annual financials downloaded 05 Nov 2026 16:07.

Starts from Fiscal year 2026 financials in GBP and a share price of GBP 32.76. Growth begins at 9.0% a year (the valuation's blended assumption) and fades to 2.2% by year 10. Margins held at EBITDA 51.1%, net 13.1%, free cash flow -34.3% of revenue. Bear and bull move starting growth by 5.0 points and long-run growth by 1 point.

Free cash flow is negative today, so the projection keeps it negative. It does not model a turnaround.
Margins drift toward their 5-year average over 5 years (net), because today's margin is far above the company's own average.
Year 1 uses analyst consensus revenue growth (11.0%); year 2 is halfway back to the model's own path.

EPS and free cash flow per share assume today's share count. Dividends assume today's payout ratio and book value grows with retained earnings. The implied share price follows the valuation models and is not a price target; override growth settings do not change the model fair value. Margins stay at today's level except where the notes say they drift toward their average, so it does not model margin expansion, buybacks, acquisitions or recessions. It is for information and education only and is not investment advice. See the methodology for how the growth rate is blended.
