Approach 1: Invesco Excess Returns Analysis

The Excess Returns model looks at how much profit a company is expected to earn above the return that shareholders require, based on its equity base. Instead of focusing on cash flows, it compares the earnings power of the business to its cost of equity.

For Invesco, the model uses a Book Value of $21.89 per share and a Stable EPS of $2.89 per share, sourced from weighted future Return on Equity estimates from 4 analysts. Against a Cost of Equity of $2.49 per share, this implies an Excess Return of $0.39 per share. The Average Return on Equity feeding into this is 9.45%, with a Stable Book Value of $30.54 per share, based on weighted future Book Value estimates from 2 analysts.

Combining these inputs, the Excess Returns model produces an estimated intrinsic value of US$38.83 per share. Compared with the recent share price of US$23.57, the model indicates the stock is 39.3% undervalued.

Approach 2: Invesco Price vs Sales

For companies that are generating meaningful revenue, the P/S ratio is a useful way to think about what you are paying for each dollar of sales, especially when earnings can be affected by non recurring items or accounting choices.

What counts as a "normal" or "fair" P/S ratio usually reflects how investors see the company’s growth potential and risk. Higher expected growth or more resilient cash flows often go with a higher multiple, while more uncertainty or weaker profitability tends to justify a lower one.

Invesco currently trades on a P/S of 1.64x. That sits below the Capital Markets industry average P/S of 3.44x and also below the peer group average of 2.95x. Simply Wall St's Fair Ratio for Invesco is 1.58x. This Fair Ratio is a proprietary estimate of the multiple that might be reasonable given factors such as earnings growth, industry, profit margins, market cap and risk profile.

Because the Fair Ratio blends these company specific factors, it can be more informative than a simple comparison with peers or the broad industry, which may have very different growth or risk characteristics. With the actual P/S at 1.64x versus a Fair Ratio of 1.58x, the stock looks about right on this metric.

Result: ABOUT RIGHT
