How to read this chart
60‑month range £14.05 – £30.41 · fair‑value band £10.81 – £26.62 · the £20.18 price screens below the £20.80 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 13, 2026.
Analysis
DLN (DLN) currently trades at £20.18, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £20.80, implying the stock looks roughly 3.1% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate 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, DLN generated revenue of £407M at a net margin of 39.6%. Revenue grew 91.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.5%. Net debt stands at £1.4B. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £10.81 (bear case) to £26.62 (bull case); at £20.18, 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 Real Estate peers we cover trades at -20% fair-value upside, at 3%, DLN 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.
All 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit (£24.36) versus Dividend Discount (£12.35). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

How we calculate Fair Value
Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
