Listen to the news

Itron (ITRI) just posted third quarter results that topped earnings and revenue forecasts, paired with record adjusted EBITDA and a higher full year 2026 outlook that leans on growing grid modernization and resiliency demand.

Itron’s recent earnings beat and raised 2026 guidance have sparked a rebound in the share price, with a 7 day share price return of 8.92% and a 30 day gain of 4.63%, even though the 1 year total shareholder return is down 32.99% and the 3 year and 5 year total shareholder returns are 62.87% and 17.00% respectively. This points to renewed momentum in the short term on the back of new utility collaborations and the upgraded outlook.

Most Popular Narrative: 29% Undervalued

Itron’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at $129.60, well above the last close of $92.59. This puts recent share price strength in a wider backlog and margin context.

Expected acceleration in global demand for smart grid infrastructure and advanced metering solutions driven by electrification, new data center load, and infrastructure buildout continues to underpin Itron’s project pipeline and multi year backlog of US$4.4b, which can support future revenue conversion as deployments progress.

Result: Fair Value of $129.60 (UNDERVALUED)
