Analysis
RWS Holdings (RWS) currently trades at £0.7745, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.8600, implying the stock looks roughly 11.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, RWS Holdings generated revenue of £690M at a net margin of -14.5%. Revenue declined 6.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -12.0%. Net debt stands at £47.9M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.6100 (bear case) to £1.10 (bull case); at £0.7745, 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 Technology peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at 11%, RWS 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (£2.67) versus Earnings-Based (£0.3500). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
