Analysis
Johnson Service Group (JSG) currently trades at £1.47, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £1.58, implying the stock looks roughly 7.4% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Johnson Service Group generated revenue of £535M at a net margin of 6.9%. Revenue grew 5.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.7%. Net debt stands at £159M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.8900 (bear case) to £2.29 (bull case); at £1.47, 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. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -38% fair-value upside, at 7%, JSG 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (£2.03) versus Asset-Based (£0.5000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
