What matters now

  • The rarer combination: high quality (71/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (£2.34). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.

Analysis

Serco Group (SRP) currently trades at £2.27, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £3.12, implying the stock looks roughly 37.2% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 71/100 (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, Serco Group generated revenue of £4.9B at a net margin of 3.0%. Revenue grew 1.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.0%. Net debt stands at £710M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £2.34 (bear case) to £3.90 (bull case); at £2.27, 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 -35% fair-value upside, at 37%, SRP 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.
