Fintel (AIM:FNTL)

Overview: Fintel Plc provides intermediary services and distribution channels to the retail financial services sector in the United Kingdom, with a market cap of £278.18 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is generated from three main segments: Research & Fintech (£24.20 million), Distribution Channels (£21.40 million), and Intermediary Services (£23.30 million).

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 40.3%

Fintel is trading at £2.67, significantly below its estimated fair value of £4.47, indicating it may be undervalued based on cash flows. Despite a decline in profit margins from 12.7% to 8.6%, Fintel's earnings are expected to grow significantly over the next three years, outpacing the UK market's growth rate.

Recent earnings showed growth with sales reaching £178.33 million and net income of £4.28 million for the half year ended October 2024, up from the previous year.
