LSL Property Services

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: LSL Property Services plc operates in the UK, offering services to mortgage intermediaries and estate agency franchisees, as well as valuation services to lenders, with a market capitalization of approximately £341.94 million.

Insider Ownership: 10.8%

LSL Property Services, trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, shows promising growth prospects with earnings expected to rise by 33.3% annually. Despite this, its dividend sustainability is questionable as it's poorly covered by both earnings and cash flows. Recent board enhancements could inject fresh expertise into the company's strategy, potentially supporting its ambitious growth trajectory in a market where it forecasts revenue growth faster than the broader UK market.
