M&G plc (MNG) Fair Value & Analysis
Financial Services · GB · Market cap 8.4B GBX
Fair value as of: Jul 18, 2026
From 26 valuation models · updated 20 days ago
Share price +5.2% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 48% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (£2.30). 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.

How to read this chart
60‑month range £1.12 – £3.54 · fair‑value band £1.38 – £2.30 · the £3.54 price screens above the £1.84 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 18, 2026.
Analysis
M&G plc (MNG) currently trades at £3.54, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £1.84, implying the stock looks roughly 48.0% overvalued today. We read business quality 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, M&G plc generated revenue of £7.3B at a net margin of 4.1%. Revenue grew 37.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.7%. Net debt stands at £2.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £1.38 (bear case) to £2.30 (bull case); at £3.54, 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. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -51% fair-value upside, at -48%, MNG 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF (£6.63) versus Asset-Based (£0.8800). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
