Most Popular Narrative: 34.8% Undervalued
On the most followed narrative, Stellantis is priced below an estimated fair value of €7.61, compared with the last close of €4.96. This puts a lot of focus on the recovery path baked into those assumptions.
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 drive higher future net margins and cash generation as near-term headwinds subside.
Want to understand why this narrative still sees room above today’s price? The core driver is a shift from large losses toward positive earnings, supported by modest revenue growth and a future profit margin that stays well below typical high multiple sectors but still changes the earnings profile in a meaningful way.
Result: Fair Value of €7.61 (UNDERVALUED)
