Let’s take a closer look at a couple of our picks from the screened companies.
Overview: Franchise Brands plc operates in franchising and related activities across the United Kingdom, Ireland, North America, and Continental Europe with a market capitalization of £277.25 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue segments consist of Azura (£0.81 million), Pirtek (£63.91 million), B2C Division (£5.75 million), Filta International (£25.60 million), and Water & Waste Services (£46.05 million).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 42.4%
Franchise Brands appears undervalued, trading at £1.44, significantly below its estimated fair value of £2.5. Recent earnings reports show a robust net income increase to £7.28 million from the previous year’s £2.99 million, with earnings per share also more than doubling. While revenue growth is moderate at 7.4% annually, profit growth outpaces the UK market with forecasts of 29.4% per year over the next three years, highlighting strong cash flow potential despite slower revenue expansion relative to profit increases.
AIM:FRAN Discounted Cash Flow as at May 2025
Overview: Nichols plc, with a market cap of £465.76 million, supplies soft drinks to the retail, wholesale, catering, licensed, and leisure industries across the United Kingdom and internationally including regions such as the Middle East and Africa.
Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from its Packaged segment, which accounts for £132.82 million, and its Out of Home segment, contributing £39.99 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 29.8%
Nichols is trading at £12.75, well below its estimated fair value of £18.17, indicating potential undervaluation based on cash flows. Despite a modest revenue increase to £39.3 million in Q1 2025, Nichols’ earnings are expected to grow faster than the UK market at 14.8% annually, supported by strategic shifts and the strength of its Vimto brand. However, challenges include an unstable dividend history and recent executive changes affecting leadership stability.
AIM:NICL Discounted Cash Flow as at May 2025

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 35.4%
Victorian Plumbing Group is trading at £0.78, below its estimated fair value of £1.21, highlighting potential undervaluation based on cash flows. Recent earnings showed a sales increase to £152.7 million for H1 2025, though net income slightly decreased to £4.1 million from the previous year. Despite this, earnings are forecast to grow significantly at 29.9% annually over the next three years, outpacing market averages and supported by strong future revenue growth expectations and high return on equity forecasts.
