What matters now
- Solid quality (60/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

60‑month range £3.65 – £22.48 · fair‑value band £20.12 – £33.53 · the £21.53 price screens below the £26.83 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 20, 2026.
Analysis
Standard Chartered PLC (STAN) currently trades at £21.53, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £26.83, implying the stock looks roughly 24.6% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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, Standard Chartered PLC generated revenue of £20.7B at a net margin of 26.1%. Revenue grew 8.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.1%. Net debt stands at £27.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £20.12 (bear case) to £33.53 (bull case); at £21.53, 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 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -15% fair-value upside, at 25%, STAN 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 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (£31.04) versus Dividend Discount (£7.10). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
