Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 27.7%

FRP Advisory Group, priced at £1.33, trades below its calculated fair value of £1.83, indicating significant undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. Despite recent equity offerings raising £26 million, the firm's dividend coverage by free cash flows remains weak. However, FRP's earnings and revenue are expected to outpace the UK market with forecasts of 18.27% and 11.3% annual growth respectively.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 44.9%

Ibstock, priced at £1.87, is valued below its fair value of £3.4, reflecting a significant undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. Although the company's dividend of 3.74% is poorly covered by earnings and free cash flows, Ibstock's earnings are expected to grow by 28.83% annually, outpacing the UK market significantly. Despite this growth potential, recent substantial insider selling and a dividend cut in May 2024 to 3.6 pence per share may raise concerns about its financial stability.
