Analysis
Speedy Hire Plc, (SDY) currently trades at £0.1950, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.2400, implying the stock looks roughly 23.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average 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, Speedy Hire Plc, generated revenue of £418M at a net margin of -2.8%. Revenue grew 0.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -7.6%. Net debt stands at £273M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.2400 (bear case) to £0.3200 (bull case); at £0.1950, the current price sits below 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 -21% fair-value upside, at 23%, SDY 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 13 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount (£0.2000) versus Growth DCF (£0.0200). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
