See our latest analysis for Super Group (SGHC).
The bearish report and trimmed 2026 revenue forecasts come on top of a weak recent patch, with a 1-month share price return of a 4.66% decline and year-to-date share price return of a 12.11% decline.

Most Popular Narrative: 41.1% Undervalued
With Super Group (SGHC) last closing at $10.23 against a narrative fair value of $17.38, the current price sits well below what this widely followed view considers reasonable, setting the scene for a closer look at what is driving that gap.
Accelerated investment in technology, including the addition of a Group CTO and scaling AI/data-driven initiatives, is enhancing product offerings, automating processes, and driving cost and marketing efficiencies, likely leading to structurally higher EBITDA margins and improved free cash flow.
Want to see what a sustained margin step up, paired with steady top line growth and a re-rated earnings multiple, looks like in one valuation blueprint? The narrative pulls together those moving parts into a single fair value that sits well above today’s share price, but the exact growth paths and profitability assumptions are only clear when you review it end to end.
Result: Fair Value of $17.38 (UNDERVALUED)
