What this means
These are two different questions: fair value looks at the business (what it is worth given what it earns) and the odds look at the price over the next month. Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust sits above fair value and its odds of rising over a month are somewhat better than a coin flip. An expensive stock can keep climbing and a cheap one can keep falling, which is why ATLAS shows the two readings separately.
Over the last 52 weeks ASL.LSE has traded between £14.08 and £19.00. Today it is at its high and 35% above its low.
On the business: net margin is 83.4%; it trades at 12.8 times earnings.
Its beta is 0.94: it moves roughly in line with the market.
