Analysis

Tristel plc (TSTL) currently trades at £3.88, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £3.03, implying the stock looks roughly 21.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 83/100 (high quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Tristel plc generated revenue of £49.5M at a net margin of 15.9%. Revenue grew 13.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 24.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £2.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £2.28 (bear case) to £3.78 (bull case); at £3.88, the current price sits above 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 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -43% fair-value upside, at -22%, TSTL 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
