Analysis

Luxfer Holdings (LXFR) currently trades at $17.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.99, implying the stock looks roughly 65.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Luxfer Holdings generated revenue of $372M at a net margin of 1.6%. Revenue declined 13.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.1%. Net debt stands at $31.1M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $4.49 (bear case) to $7.48 (bull case); at $17.10, 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 about 11% below its 52-week high and 59% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -65%, LXFR 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.
