# Savills plc (SVS.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Real Estate / Real Estate Management & Development. Price 1030p, market value 1.7 billionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 22.4×** (5-yr avg 2115.9×, 3-yr avg 2722.9×). Savills plc trades at 22.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 2115.9×: cheap by its own standards. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 9.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.31**. A PEG of 0.31 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.9×**. The shares trade at 1.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 5.0×**. Enterprise value is 5.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 17.5%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 17.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 72.8%**. Savills plc keeps 72.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 3.8%**. 3.8% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.8%**. 2.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.3%**. 9.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 14.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 14.7%.
- **Return on assets: 5.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 5.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 6.1%** (3-yr 3.5%/yr, 5-yr 7.9%/yr). Revenue grew 6.1% over the last year, against 7.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 32.4%** (3-yr -15.8%/yr, 5-yr 0.4%/yr). Earnings per share rose 32.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 1.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 1.0% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.81**. Debt is 0.81 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.2×**. It would take 0.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 2.2×**. Operating profit covers interest 2.2×, thin but manageable.
- **Current ratio: 1.17** (quick 1.17). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.17 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.47**. A Z-score of 2.47 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.27%** (0p per share, trailing). Savills plc yields 2.27%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 61%** (25% of free cash flow). 61% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 1**. 1 straight year of increases.
- **Shareholder yield: 4.0%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 4.0% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 13.6%** (YTD 3.6%, 3-mo 24.8%). The shares are up 13.6% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -9.8%** (30.1% above the low). Trading 10% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 55**. An RSI of 55 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.84** (volatility 28%). Beta of 0.84 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move roughly with the market.
