Sixt's second quarter numbers have arrived alongside a modest pickup in momentum, with a 1-day share price return of 1.12% and a 7-day return of 2.71%, even though the 1-year total shareholder return is down 13.24%, so recent gains contrast with weaker longer term results.

Sixt appears to be a solid mobility business with increasing sales and profits, yet the share price is still down over 13% on a 1 year view despite the recent uptick. Is the stock currently good value?

Preferred P/E of 11.3x: Is it justified?

Sixt currently trades on a P/E of 11.3x, which looks inexpensive relative to both its own earnings profile and the broader transportation peer group at the last close of €71.95.

The P/E ratio tells you how much investors are paying today for each euro of Sixt's earnings. For a company with positive net income of €299.851 million and a record of turning that into cash backed profits, this is a common way to compare the stock to alternatives in the same sector.

Sixt's earnings growth over the past year is described as 17.8%, ahead of its 5 year average of 6% per year, yet the stock trades on a P/E of 11.3x. That compares to a peer average P/E of 17.7x and a European transportation industry average of 13.8x. The estimated fair P/E for Sixt is 16.3x, a level the market could move towards if investors reassess the company's earnings profile and the current discount closes.
