Bridgepoint Group appears undervalued based on cash flows, trading 23.8% below fair value estimates (£2.83 vs. £3.71). Despite lower profit margins (19.2%) compared to last year (40.7%), revenue and earnings are forecast to grow faster than the UK market at 18% and 33.3% per year respectively. Recent buybacks and dividend increases signal confidence, though current dividends are not well covered by earnings or free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns.
