The impairment lands after a choppy few months, with a 30 day share price return of 4.07 percent but a weaker 90 day share price return of minus 9.74 percent. However, the five year total shareholder return of 103.56 percent shows long term momentum remains intact.
If this accounting hit has you reassessing risk, it could also be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as potential complementary ideas for your watchlist.
With the shares still trading at a roughly 20 percent discount to analyst targets despite solid earnings growth, is Loomis quietly slipping into undervalued territory, or is the market already factoring in all the future upside?
Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 16.5% Undervalued
With Loomis last closing at SEK 378 against a narrative fair value of roughly SEK 453, the valuation hinges on how far its business mix can evolve.

Want to see how modest growth, rising margins, and shrinking share count combine into that upside case? The full narrative unpacks the math driving this valuation call.
Result: Fair Value of $452.67 (UNDERVALUED)
