Overview: Nexxen International Ltd. is a company based in Israel that offers a comprehensive software platform connecting advertisers with publishers, with a market capitalization of approximately £328.23 million.
Operations: The company generates $334.69 million from its marketing services segment.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 49.8%
Nexxen International Ltd., with a current trading price of £2.38, is significantly undervalued based on discounted cash flow analysis, suggesting a fair value of £4.74. Despite recent losses—£6.87 million in Q1 2024—the company's revenue is expected to grow by 7.8% annually, outpacing the UK market average of 3.5%. This growth is supported by strategic initiatives like the Nexxen Data Platform and partnerships aimed at enhancing data-driven consumer engagement, positioning Nexxen for profitability within three years amidst aggressive share buybacks totaling £19.99 million recently.
Energean
Overview: Energean plc is an oil and gas company focused on the exploration, production, and development of energy resources, with a market capitalization of approximately £1.94 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue primarily stems from its exploration and production activities in the oil and gas sector, totaling approximately $1.42 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 44.6%
Energean, priced at £10.60, is considerably below its estimated fair value of £19.13, reflecting a potential undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite a robust dividend of 30 US cents per share and a significant increase in production to 142 kboed as of Q1 2024—a 49% year-over-year rise—the sustainability of this dividend is questionable due to inadequate coverage by earnings or free cash flows. With expected revenue growth outpacing the UK market average and forecasts suggesting substantial future returns on equity, Energean's financial outlook appears promising although constrained by high debt levels and recent shareholder dilution.
Our growth report here indicates Energean may be poised for an improving outlook.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 36.9%
Foxtons Group, trading at £0.66, is valued at 36.9% below its fair value of £1.05, suggesting potential undervaluation based on discounted cash flow metrics.
