Let's take a closer look at a couple of our picks from the screened companies.
Bellway
Overview: Bellway p.l.c., with a market cap of approximately £2.81 billion, operates in the United Kingdom as a homebuilder through its subsidiaries.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its UK House Building segment, generating £2.38 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 16%
Bellway is trading at £23.72, below its estimated fair value of £28.24, suggesting it may be undervalued based on discounted cash flows. Analysts project earnings growth of 21.8% annually over the next three years, outpacing the UK market's 14.5%. However, profit margins have decreased from 10.7% to 5.5%, and the dividend yield of 2.28% is not well covered by free cash flows, highlighting potential financial constraints despite revenue growth prospects.

Liontrust Asset Management
Overview: Liontrust Asset Management Plc is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of £257.30 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through its Investment Management segment, amounting to £180.38 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 42%
Liontrust Asset Management is trading at £4.04, significantly below its estimated fair value of £6.96, reflecting potential undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. Despite a forecasted revenue decline of 2.6% annually over the next three years, earnings are expected to grow by 23.1% per year, surpassing UK market averages. However, the dividend yield of 17.82% is not well-supported by earnings or free cash flow, and recent share buybacks could impact financial flexibility.
