Analysis
EKF Diagnostics Holdings (EKF) currently trades at £0.2530, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.1100, implying the stock looks roughly 56.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare 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, EKF Diagnostics Holdings generated revenue of £51.6M at a net margin of 4.1%. Revenue grew 5.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £14.4M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.1100 (bear case) to £0.1400 (bull case); at £0.2530, the current price sits above 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 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -33% fair-value upside, at -57%, EKF 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: Growth DCF (£0.3700) versus Economic Profit (£0.1000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
