What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (£11.11). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (35/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range (£5.49 to £11.11) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range £6.35 – £13.65 · fair‑value band £5.49 – £11.11 · the £11.51 price screens above the £8.09 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
National Grid PLC (NG) currently trades at £11.51, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £8.09, implying the stock looks roughly 42.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 35/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of £9.91 per share, and 1 of the 15 models we run sit above the £11.51 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at £2.41, and 14 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, National Grid PLC generated revenue of £17.7B at a net margin of 18.3%. Revenue grew 2.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.4%. Net debt stands at £46.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £5.49 (bear case) to £11.11 (bull case); at £11.51, 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 Utilities peers we cover trades at −38% fair-value upside, at −30%, NG screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly £0.0549 per share, which is 0.7 % 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (£9.91) versus Economic Profit (£2.41). Highest evidence: Residual Income (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 34 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 57
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.
