What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (£3.09). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • Solid quality (64/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • A fairly wide model range (£3.09 to £5.70) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Hollywood Bowl Group (BOWL) currently trades at £2.83, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £4.56, implying the stock looks roughly 61.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Hollywood Bowl Group generated revenue of £263M at a net margin of 12.8%. Revenue grew 9.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 21.7%. Net debt stands at £221M. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £3.09 (bear case) to £5.70 (bull case); at £2.83, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 2% fair-value upside, at 61%, BOWL screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
