Analysis
Renishaw plc (RSW) currently trades at £48.28, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £29.73, implying the stock looks roughly 38.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Renishaw plc generated revenue of £737M at a net margin of 10.1%. Revenue grew 7.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £71.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £20.90 (bear case) to £37.17 (bull case); at £48.28, 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. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -38%, RSW 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 (£24.91) versus Asset-Based (£8.53). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
