Most Popular Narrative: 13.4% Undervalued
The most followed narrative currently puts E.ON's fair value at €20.26, above the last close of €17.55. That gap rests on specific revenue, margin and valuation assumptions.
The analysts have a consensus price target of €20.26 for E.ON based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
