RE: THG Price Target Increased by 10.16% to 49.227 Dec 2025 11:59
THG PLC appears materially undervalued because most of the market is using outdated balance sheet information.
The company reported net debt of £321m in H1 2025, but this figure is no longer relevant. After the Claremont Ingredients disposal, pro-forma net debt fell to approximately £220m. Following the December 2025 conversion of the £60m shareholder convertible loan, pro-forma net debt is now roughly £160m. This is significantly lower than the £300m+ levels still referenced in many analyst models.
At a share price of 44p, THG’s market capitalisation is about £704m. Adjusting for the updated net debt, the enterprise value is approximately £864m. Based on 2026 EBITDA expectations of £120–150m, THG trades on 5.8–7.2× EV/EBITDA, well below global nutrition peers (typically 8–14×).
On this basis, fair value for the shares ranges from 50p to over 90p, with higher valuations justified if Nutrition continues to grow at double-digit rates and licensing partnerships scale. The recent simplification of the capital structure (convertible removed, Ingenuity demerged) reduces risk and strengthens the investment case.
In short, updated financials indicate THG may be mispriced.
