Analysis

Forterra plc (FORT) currently trades at £1.36, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £1.74, implying the stock looks roughly 27.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Forterra plc generated revenue of £386M at a net margin of 4.4%. Revenue grew 4.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.4%. Net debt stands at £75.4M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £1.31 (bear case) to £2.18 (bull case); at £1.36, 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 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -59% fair-value upside, at 27%, FORT 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.

Widest divergence: DCF Models (£2.03) versus Dividend Discount (£0.4000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
