What matters now
- The rarer combination: high quality (70/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (£2.95). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- A fairly wide model range (£2.95 to £5.95) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
FW Thorpe Plc (TFW) currently trades at £2.57, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £4.33, implying the stock looks roughly 68.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (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, FW Thorpe Plc generated revenue of £173M at a net margin of 14.7%. Revenue declined 2.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £37.8M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £2.95 (bear case) to £5.95 (bull case); at £2.57, 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 -65% fair-value upside, at 68%, TFW 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: Growth Earnings (£4.35) versus Dividend Discount (£1.06). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
