Memo
GB GROUP PLC (GBG.L). Latest full fiscal year: 2026; data up to 2026-03-31.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 285.0 m GBP in 2026; YoY growth 0.8%; net margin -26.3%; ROE -13.8%.
The estimated value range is 0.44–0.54 GBP per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 0.48 GBP, the price of 1.59 GBP leaves a potential of -69.5% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -227.7% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
Insufficient data for a verdict (score weight coverage: 35.4% of at least 60%).
Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.
What supports the thesis
- FCF yield: 9.9%
- Payout ratio (FCF): 28.4%
What contradicts it
- Net margin: -26.3%
- Interest coverage: -9.8x
- Current ratio: 1.1x
- The price is above the estimated value range
Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): ROIC, FCF conversion, Revenue CAGR 3Y, EPS CAGR 3Y, Net debt / EBITDA, P/E (TTM), EV/EBITDA.
