Operations: The company generates £276.80 million in revenue from its Data, Analytics, and Insights segment across its operational regions.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 49.8%

The company's earnings are projected to grow substantially at 27.69% annually, outpacing the UK market's growth rate of 14.8%.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 27.8%

Restore is trading at £2.42, below its estimated fair value of £3.35, indicating undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite a flat revenue forecast due to market uncertainty, earnings are expected to grow significantly at 48.22% annually, surpassing the UK market's growth rate of 14.8%. However, interest payments and dividends remain poorly covered by earnings. Recent board changes include Patrick Butcher's appointment as a non-executive director amidst these financial dynamics.

Recent strategic initiatives like Vp Rail aim to enhance growth by leveraging integrated services in the rail sector, aligning with their refreshed strategy for market expansion.
