From 26 valuation models · updated yesterday

Below-average quality, and screening another 24% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The model range is unusually wide (£2.13 to £6.22). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (48/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

How to read this chart
60‑month range £1.93 – £6.96 · fair‑value band £2.13 – £6.22 · the £5.33 price screens above the £4.07 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
Volex Plc (VLX) currently trades at £5.33, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £4.07, implying the stock looks roughly 23.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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, Volex Plc generated revenue of £1.2B at a net margin of 5.0%. Revenue grew 12.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.1%. Net debt stands at £152M. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £2.13 (bear case) to £6.22 (bull case); at £5.33, 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 Industrials peers we cover trades at -65% fair-value upside, at -24%, VLX 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: Multiples (£7.02) versus Dividend Discount (£0.5700). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
