Share price +7.0% over the past month.

A solid business, screening 127% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (£27.96). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The model range is unusually wide (£27.96 to £104.97). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid quality (58/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Analysis

Yü Group (YU) currently trades at £16.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £37.28, implying the stock looks roughly 127.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Utilities 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, Yü Group generated revenue of £700M at a net margin of 5.1%. Revenue grew 8.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 42.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £94.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £27.96 (bear case) to £104.97 (bull case); at £16.40, 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 Utilities peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at 127%, YU 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
