Whystock Valuation Model
Whystock fair value is estimated using a trailing P/E model adjusted for return on equity: Fair P/E = 18 + (ROE × 20). Fair Value = (Current Price ÷ Trailing P/E) × Fair P/E. A base P/E of 18 represents a typical market multiple, scaled upward for companies that earn high returns on equity. The result is a theoretical "normalised" price — not a price target or investment advice. Large deviations are common for high-growth or loss-making companies.

Bank of England sounds warning of interest rate hikes ahead
Inflation could rise to 6.2% next year, with interest rates peaking at 5.25%, in the event of a prolonged energy shock with oil prices remaining above $130 a barrel, according to a worst-case scenario modelled by the Bank of England. The good news is that these chilling numbers are not a forecast, and the Bank's key rate-setting body has not indicated if it thinks it likely to occur. It is just one of three potential scenarios mapped out as a "thought experiment" to help the monetary policy committee (MPC) work through different paths for the length and severity of the energy price shock triggered by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
