Financial Services · GB · Market cap 288M GBX
Fair value as of: Jul 12, 2026
From 6 valuation models · updated 29 days ago
Share price −30.8% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 61% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (£0.5600). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Vanquis Banking Group (VANQ) currently trades at £1.15, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.4500, implying the stock looks roughly 61.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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, Vanquis Banking Group generated revenue of £276M at a net margin of 3.0%. Revenue declined 1.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.7%. Net debt stands at £2.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.3400 (bear case) to £0.5600 (bull case); at £1.15, 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 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -61%, VANQ screens richer 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
