Analysis
Inchcape plc (INCH) currently trades at £8.19, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £16.27, implying the stock looks roughly 98.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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, Inchcape plc generated revenue of £9.1B at a net margin of 3.0%. Revenue grew 5.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.4%. Net debt stands at £607M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £10.83 (bear case) to £21.46 (bull case); at £8.19, 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 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -5% fair-value upside, at 99%, INCH 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (£17.17) versus Asset-Based (£2.42). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
