Below-average quality, and screening another 22% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The model range is unusually wide (£0.3400 to £1.00). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (47/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

How to read this chart
60‑month range £0.4559 – £0.9829 · fair‑value band £0.3400 – £1.00 · the £0.8045 price screens above the £0.6300 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 20, 2026.
Analysis
Coats Group PLC (COA) currently trades at £0.8045, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.6300, implying the stock looks roughly 21.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Coats Group PLC generated revenue of £1.5B at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue grew 4.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 23.9%. Net debt stands at £908M. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.3400 (bear case) to £1.00 (bull case); at £0.8045, 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 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at -22%, COA screens richer 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (£0.9400) versus Asset-Based (£0.2500). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
