From 11 valuation models · updated 14 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 27, 2026, revised from $7.29 to $7.38 (+1.2%) since Jun 26, 2026.

A solid business, but screening 18% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • Solid but not exceptional quality (63/100) 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

Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc (MABHF) currently trades at $8.98, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.38, implying the stock looks roughly 17.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (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, Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc generated revenue of $318M at a net margin of 4.8%. Revenue grew 19.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.3%. Net debt stands at $9.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $5.54 (bear case) to $9.33 (bull case); at $8.98, 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 share trades about 15% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at -18%, MABHF 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.
