Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its footwear segment, amounting to £805.90 million.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 11.4%

Dr. Martens is trading at 11.4% below its estimated fair value, indicating potential undervaluation based on cash flows. Despite a challenging first half of 2024 with a net loss of £20.8 million, earnings are forecast to grow significantly at 40.5% annually, outpacing the UK market average.
