Analysis
Gattaca plc (GATC) currently trades at £1.54, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £1.30, implying the stock looks roughly 15.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Gattaca plc generated revenue of £418M at a net margin of 0.8%. Revenue grew 9.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £15.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £1.11 (bear case) to £1.67 (bull case); at £1.54, 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 Industrials peers we cover trades at 23% fair-value upside, at -15%, GATC 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (£1.61) versus Dividend Discount (£0.2900). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
