TCAP: Higher Discount Rate Should Still Support Attractive Upside Potential

Analysts have nudged their price target on TP ICAP Group slightly lower, trimming fair value from approximately £3.28 to £3.12. They have incorporated a modestly higher discount rate and slightly softer long term revenue growth assumptions, partly offset by improved profit margin expectations and a lower future P/E multiple.

PLUS: Clearing Partnerships And Stable Outlook Will Support Measured Share Interest

Analysts have nudged their price target on Plus500 higher, lifting fair value by about $0.94 per share, as improving forward revenue expectations and a modest uptick in assumed growth prospects more than offset slightly lower profit margin forecasts and a higher future earnings multiple.
