Fair value updated Jul 11, 2026, revised from £21.20 to £22.60 (+6.6%) since Jun 26, 2026. Share price −2.7% over the past month.

A solid business, screening 100% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (£12.18). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The model range is unusually wide (£12.18 to £39.32). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid quality (57/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Analysis

International Biotechnology Trust plc (IBT) currently trades at £11.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £22.60, implying the stock looks roughly 100.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, International Biotechnology Trust plc generated revenue of £5.2M at a net margin of -22.3%. Revenue declined 60.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -0.4%. Net debt stands at £14.6M. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £12.18 (bear case) to £39.32 (bull case); at £11.30, the current price sits below 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 -43% fair-value upside, at 100%, IBT 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
