Analysis

Touchstar plc (TST) currently trades at £0.8000, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £1.37, implying the stock looks roughly 71.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Touchstar plc generated revenue of £6.9M at a net margin of 0.5%. Revenue declined 0.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £1.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £1.08 (bear case) to £1.65 (bull case); at £0.8000, 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 Technology peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at 71%, TST 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
