Price vs fair value Smiths Group trades at a **PREMIUM of 61.80%** versus our fair-value estimate and a **discount of 8.46%** versus the analyst 12-month target. - Fair-value premium of 61.80% reflects high P/E (35.20) and P/B (4.75) relative to peers (Valuation 48.0). - Analyst target implies 8.46% upside, supported by strong ROCE (25.4%) and Quality score (62.8). - Negative FCF yield (-10.0%) and -17.4% EPS growth may explain part of the valuation gap.
Looking forward Forward P/E of 16.08 and PEG of 0.14 suggest potential re-rating if growth recovers. Dividend yield is 1.8% with a payout ratio of 62.0%. Execution in Detection and Interconnect segments will be key to closing the valuation gap.
