    Most Popular Narrative: 11.9% Undervalued

    The most followed narrative on Amadeus IT Group currently anchors fair value at €65.90 per share, compared with the last close at €58.04. It frames that gap around AI fears and infrastructure strength.

    The recent wave of AI-related fear has indiscriminately compressed valuation multiples across software, infrastructure and platform businesses. However, this repricing increasingly appears disconnected from operational reality. Amadeus has once again demonstrated that its core platforms remain deeply embedded within the global travel infrastructure, with continued growth across Distribution, Air IT, Hospitality and Airport segments.

    Read the complete narrative.

    The narrative, according to Janpeo, leans heavily on cash generation, margin resilience and a specific long term growth profile that underpins the €65.90 figure. Curious which revenue trends, profitability assumptions and discount rate choices are doing the heavy lifting in that model? The full story sets out those moving parts in plain language and shows how they add up to the current fair value call.

    Result: Fair Value of €65.90 (UNDERVALUED)
