"For Frontier IP, down 25 per cent, the story is more nuanced and may very well be a case of short-term pain for significant long-term gain.
Shore Capital reckons Frontier could finally be reaching the 'harvest stage' after years of patient capital deployment, with substantial value locked in six core holdings.
The broker sees a significant gap between the 17p share price and conservative valuations of underlying assets, with each core holding potentially worth at least 20p per Frontier IP share on realisation.
Shore's base case implies 170p of value, with bull cases reaching 230p to 290p, supported by the Exscientia precedent, which turned a Β£2,000 stake into roughly Β£14 million in cash.
Current holdings include Pulsiv, valued at Β£60 million and flagged as an IPO candidate; Alusid, exploring an AIM flotation; and 2D Photonics, which secured β¬211 million in Italian state aid that Shore says implies 22p of value per Frontier IP share.
A planned Β£4 million equity raise and up to Β£2 million of debt is designed to extend the runway without forcing premature exits."
