Most Popular Narrative: 23.1% Undervalued
At NOK 324.5, the most followed narrative sees Okeanis Eco Tankers trading below an estimated fair value of NOK 421.87, built on detailed earnings and margin assumptions.
The analysts have a consensus price target of NOK325.295 for Okeanis Eco Tankers based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $237.9 million, earnings will come to $141.1 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 9.9x, assuming you use a discount rate of 10.5%.
Curious how a shrinking revenue line can still support higher earnings and a lower P/E than today, even with a higher discount rate baked in? The most followed narrative leans heavily on widening profit margins and a specific path for return on equity to justify that fair value. If you want to see exactly which assumptions carry the weight in this calculation and how tightly analysts cluster around them, the full narrative lays it out in black and white.

Another View: Market Multiple Sends a Different Signal
While the most popular narrative leans on a fair value of NOK 421.87, the current P/E of 14.9x tells a different story. That is higher than the European Oil and Gas industry at 11.7x, the peer average at 11.8x, and our fair ratio of 8.8x. This points to valuation risk if earnings or sentiment soften.
With such a clear gap between price targets, intrinsic value estimates, and where the market is currently pricing Okeanis Eco Tankers on earnings, which signal do you trust the most?
