Despite reporting a net loss in the recent quarter, sales increased to EUR 366.95 million from EUR 310.59 million year-on-year, with earnings per share improving to EUR 0.08 from a loss previously.

Operations: The company's revenue segments include CHF1.99 billion from GF Piping Systems, CHF901 million from GF Casting Solutions, and CHF853 million from GF Machining Solutions.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 46.1%
Georg Fischer is trading at CHF 59.25, significantly below its estimated fair value of CHF 109.93, suggesting undervaluation based on cash flows. Despite a recent drop in net income to CHF 97 million and reduced profit margins, the company's earnings are forecasted to grow by over 22% annually, surpassing market averages. However, debt coverage by operating cash flow remains inadequate. Analysts anticipate a potential stock price increase of over 27%.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from Ypsomed Diabetes Care, contributing CHF151.05 million, and Ypsomed Delivery Systems, which accounts for CHF385.15 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 24.3%
Ypsomed Holding, trading at CHF 406, is priced significantly below its estimated fair value of CHF 536.2, reflecting potential undervaluation based on cash flows. Earnings are expected to grow significantly at 33.3% annually, outpacing the Swiss market's average growth rate. Recent collaboration with Astria Therapeutics for the STAR-0215 autoinjector could enhance revenue prospects despite a forecasted slower revenue growth rate of 18.4% per year compared to earnings expansion.
