How to read this chart
60‑month range £2.32 – £8.06 · fair‑value band £2.43 – £4.93 · the £3.82 price screens above the £3.24 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Playtech plc (PTEC) currently trades at £3.82, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £3.24, implying the stock looks roughly 15.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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).
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at £764M. Revenue declined 10.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -10.6%. Net debt stands at £12.0M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £2.43 (bear case) to £4.93 (bull case); at £3.82, 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 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -10% fair-value upside, at -15%, PTEC 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.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (£108.53) versus Growth DCF (£3.05). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
