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.

Why The Pearson (LSE:PSON) Narrative Is Shifting On Mixed Analyst Targets And Fine Tuning
Pearson’s fair value price target has been adjusted to £11.70 from £11.64, a small move that highlights how current updates are more about fine tuning than resetting expectations. Recent analyst commentary lines up with this, with modest price target changes such as JPMorgan’s 10 GBp increase and others’ trims to $13.90 and 1,120 GBp reflecting mixed but generally steady conviction rather than a sharp change in stance. Read on to see what is driving these moves and how you can keep track of...
