What matters now

  • The price sits close to our fair value, market and models broadly agree here, little valuation tension.
  • Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Baronsmead Venture Trust Plc (BVT) currently trades at £0.4360, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.4100, implying the stock looks roughly 6.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 15 models at a data quality of 96/100, which puts the evidence level at low.

Over the trailing twelve months, Baronsmead Venture Trust Plc generated revenue of £7.7M at a net margin of 42.0%. Revenue grew 138.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.5%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 43.6. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £0.3100 (bear case) to £0.5200 (bull case); at £0.4360, the current price sits within 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 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at −6%, BVT screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
