What the company does ICG plc is a UK-listed private equity firm focused on direct investments in private debt, venture debt, credit, and equity across mid-market European, US, and Asia-Pacific companies. It also runs fund-of-funds strategies, primarily in secondary private equity transactions, avoiding property, early-stage funds, and start-ups.

Key financials ICG’s profitability remains robust: ROE 18%, ROA 5%, and ROCE 13%. Margins are healthy (gross 100%, operating 46%, net 49%), but revenue and EPS both fell YoY (–21% and –39%). Leverage is moderate (debt/equity 0.47) with a current ratio of 1.59, while dividend yield is 4.5% with a 52% payout ratio.

Stock health Momentum is mixed: +6% over 3m but –11% over 12m, with RSI at 61.40. Quality scores are strong (69/100), but growth (13/100) and momentum (41/100) lag peers. Sideravia ranks ICG in the 54th percentile overall, citing high income (92nd) but weak growth.

Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **discount** of 39.50% to our fair-value estimate and a **discount** of 30.15% to the 12-month analyst target. - Fwd P/E of 10.75 and EV/EBITDA of 9.45 sit below sector medians (Valuation 69.5). - Dividend yield of 4.5% is attractive relative to peers (Income 92.3). - Revenue and EPS declines (-21% and -39%) weigh on growth (Growth 12.5). - Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 and Altman Z of 1.57 signal moderate financial health.

Looking forward Analysts expect a rebound, with a 12-month target implying ~30% upside. Execution on private credit and secondary fund strategies will drive valuation rerating.
