Analysis
Henderson Far East Income Limited (HFEL) currently trades at £2.62, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £2.61, implying the stock looks roughly 0.4% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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, Henderson Far East Income Limited generated revenue of £144M at a net margin of 92.4%. It earns a return on equity of 30.2%. Net debt stands at £24.9M. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 3.9. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £1.96 (bear case) to £3.26 (bull case); at £2.62, 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 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at 0%, HFEL 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 11 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF (£2.99) versus Asset-Based (£1.25). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
