Most Popular Narrative: 36.5% Undervalued
With Stellantis last closing at €4.83 against a narrative fair value of €7.61 using an 11.75% discount rate, the debate centers on whether current pricing properly reflects a potential earnings recovery and margin rebuild.
Sequential improvements in operating margins and halved cash flow outflows from 2H 2024 to 1H 2025, combined with a robust liquidity position (25-30% of trailing 12-month revenue), indicate underlying operational progress that could be associated with higher future net margins and cash generation as near-term headwinds subside.
