Analysis
Zotefoams plc (ZTF) currently trades at £4.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £5.55, implying the stock looks roughly 32.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Zotefoams plc generated revenue of £158M at a net margin of 14.3%. Revenue grew 5.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.9%. Net debt stands at £43.0M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £3.94 (bear case) to £7.16 (bull case); at £4.20, 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 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 32%, ZTF 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
