- Weak quality (43/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.

Analysis
Helios Towers Plc (HTWS) currently trades at £2.04, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £0.6400, implying the stock looks roughly 218.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of £1.31 per share, and 4 of the 21 models we run sit above the £2.04 price. Bear case: the Growth DCF group reads lowest at £0.1000, and 17 of the 21 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Helios Towers Plc generated revenue of £854M at a net margin of 4.6%. Revenue grew 8.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 70.2%. Net debt stands at £1.8B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.4800 (bear case) to £0.7900 (bull case); at £2.04, the current price sits above 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 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 30% fair-value upside, at −69%, HTWS screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly £0.0135 per share, which is 2.1 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (£1.31) versus Asset-Based (£0.0300). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (77).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 41 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 63
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.
