Analysis
RS Group (RS1) currently trades at £6.71, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £7.39, implying the stock looks roughly 10.2% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, RS Group generated revenue of £2.9B at a net margin of 5.6%. Revenue grew 1.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.7%. Net debt stands at £329M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £5.15 (bear case) to £9.24 (bull case); at £6.71, 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 Industrials peers we cover trades at -35% fair-value upside, at 10%, RS1 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: DCF Models (£7.39) versus Earnings-Based (£1.89). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
