Analysis
Gooch & Housego PLC (GHH) currently trades at £12.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £2.69, implying the stock looks roughly 78.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Gooch & Housego PLC generated revenue of £150M at a net margin of 2.4%. Revenue grew 10.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.1%. Net debt stands at £43.9M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £1.89 (bear case) to £4.52 (bull case); at £12.20, 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 Technology peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at -78%, GHH 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 (£3.62) versus Growth DCF (£0.2000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
