Costain Group PLC (COST.L) — VMCI valuation read

The headline on Costain Group PLC (COST.L) is a 60/100 VMCI score, set against a Industrials sector median of 50. That 10-point above-median read reflects the five-pillar weighting and, for a mid-cap name, suggests a relative-value tailwind is in the data.

COST.L insider activity report: 0 buys, 0 sells filed via Form 4 over the past 30 days. The next datable items are the 10-Q schedule and any 8-K-triggering events; both feed the VMCI Integrity pillar more than the price tape.

**Investor frame.** COST.L trades at 27.0x earnings, 50% above the Industrials median of 18.0x sets the value side. ROIC of 19.0% sits 9.0pp above the Industrials median (10.0%) sets the quality side. Net debt to EBITDA of -1.1x leaves covenant headroom sets the risk side, the three lines a value buyer reads first on COST.L.

COST.L rose 0.6% over the trailing 7 days, with a -2.4% read on a 30-day basis.
