Analysis
The Law Debenture Corporation (LWDB) currently trades at £12.16, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £12.64, implying the stock looks roughly 3.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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, The Law Debenture Corporation generated revenue of £374M at a net margin of 81.4%. Revenue grew 190.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 28.6%. Net debt stands at £174M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £9.48 (bear case) to £15.80 (bull case); at £12.16, 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 4%, LWDB 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 13 models by family
Widest divergence: Earnings-Based (£80.11) versus Dividend Discount (£4.38). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
