From 13 valuation models · updated 14 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 27, 2026, revised from $3.85 to $3.90 (+1.3%) since Jun 26, 2026. Share price +10.2% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 82% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($4.87). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (62/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Legal & General Group (LGGNY) currently trades at $21.59, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $3.90, implying the stock looks roughly 81.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (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, Legal & General Group generated revenue of $11.0B at a net margin of 5.4%. Revenue grew 13.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.9%. Net debt stands at $18.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $2.92 (bear case) to $4.87 (bull case); at $21.59, 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. The share trades near its 52-week high and 50% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -82%, LGGNY 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.
