Henry Boot's earnings are expected to grow significantly at 25.5% annually, outpacing the UK market average.

The stock trades at a notable discount to its estimated fair value, though return on equity is projected to be low at 5.8%. Dividend sustainability remains a concern due to inadequate free cash flow coverage.
