Let's explore several standout options from the results in the screener
Forterra
Overview: Forterra plc specializes in manufacturing and selling building products in the United Kingdom, with a market capitalization of approximately £328.97 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through two segments: Bespoke Products (£72.70 million) and Bricks and Blocks (£277.40 million).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 41.7%
Forterra, trading at £1.59, significantly below its fair value estimate of £2.73, appears undervalued based on discounted cash flows. Despite a recent dividend cut to 2 pence per share and a 6% revenue drop over four months ending April 2024, Forterra's earnings are expected to grow significantly at a rate of 26.18% annually over the next three years. However, its debt is poorly covered by operating cash flow and profit margins have declined from last year's levels.
Halfords Group
Overview: Halfords Group plc operates in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, offering a range of motoring and cycling products and services, with a market capitalization of approximately £306.01 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through two segments: Retail, which brings in £997.10 million, and Autocentres, contributing £699.40 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 45.8%
