    After a sharp rebound in Instalco’s share price and fresh contract news, the debate now turns to valuation: whether recent gains already capture the good news or if today’s price still leaves meaningful upside on the table.

    Most Popular Narrative: 16.4% Undervalued

    The most widely followed Instalco narrative points to a fair value of SEK43.5 per share, compared with the latest close at SEK36.36. It therefore frames the recent contract win and funding extension within a wider rerating story.

    The shift towards service & maintenance, which now accounts for 36% of sales and is growing 6% YoY, builds recurring, higher-margin revenue streams that stabilize earnings and improve margin quality as industry demand increasingly shifts from new construction to ongoing building operation and efficiency upgrades.

    Want to see what sits behind that higher margin push and fair value gap? The narrative emphasizes rising earnings, a fuller order book and a future profit multiple that assumes investors keep paying up for Instalco’s service heavy mix and smart building exposure. The exact hurdles the company needs to clear are spelled out in detail for anyone weighing those assumptions against today’s SEK36.36 price.

    Result: Fair Value of SEK43.5 (UNDERVALUED)
