Analysis
Wilmington plc (WIL) currently trades at £2.78, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £2.55, implying the stock looks roughly 8.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Wilmington plc generated revenue of £107M at a net margin of 10.3%. Revenue grew 12.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £40.8M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £2.02 (bear case) to £3.18 (bull case); at £2.78, 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 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 12% fair-value upside, at -8%, WIL 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 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (£2.51) versus Asset-Based (£0.8400). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
