What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (£0.3600). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.

- A fairly wide model range (£0.3600 to £0.7000) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Malvern International Plc (MLVN) currently trades at £0.2100, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.5300, implying the stock looks roughly 152.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Malvern International Plc generated revenue of £20.3M at a net margin of -8.5%. Revenue grew 18.9% year over year. Net debt stands at £1.3M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.3600 (bear case) to £0.7000 (bull case); at £0.2100, the current price sits below 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 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at 152%, MLVN 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 8 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (£0.8000) versus Dividend Discount (£0.0300). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
