Plain-Language Summary
Applying a 16x P/E to adjusted EPS of $2.35, the base-case value is $37.64 per share. DDM cross-check: $153.30.
Warnings
The company pays out 118% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Dividend-based valuation: $153.30 (above our primary estimate by 307%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Financial statements were converted from GBP into USD using GBPUSD at 1.3518 USD per GBP.
Key Risks
- Growth DCF inappropriate — terminal value assumptions dominate
- EV/EBITDA misleading for regulated businesses where capex is mandated
- Regulatory risk is a fat tail not visible in normal multiples
