What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (£0.0161). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- The models converge in a tight band (£0.0161 to £0.0173), unusually little disagreement for a valuation.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 28, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range £0.0075 – £0.0450 · fair‑value band £0.0161 – £0.0173 · the £0.0150 price screens below the £0.0173 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 28, 2026.
Analysis
Worldsec Ltd (WSL) currently trades at £0.0150, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.0173, implying the stock looks roughly 15.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 75/100 (high quality), in the Financial Services 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Worldsec Ltd generated revenue of £814K at a net margin of 26.4%. Revenue grew 58.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.9%. Fundamentals as of Aug 28, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.0161 (bear case) to £0.0173 (bull case); at £0.0150, 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 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -29% fair-value upside, at 15%, WSL 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 10 models by family
Widest divergence: Earnings-Based (£0.0900) versus Multiples (£0.0300). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (72).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 74 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 48
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.

How we calculate Fair Value
Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
