Analysis
hVIVO plc (HVO) currently trades at £0.0685, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.0832, implying the stock looks roughly 21.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Healthcare 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: low), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, hVIVO plc generated revenue of £49.7M at a net margin of -12.1%. Revenue declined 16.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -14.5%. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.0627 (bear case) to £0.0969 (bull case); at £0.0685, 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 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at 21%, HVO 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 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (£0.1100) versus Dividend Discount (£0.0200). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).
