The buy back lands after a choppy stretch, with a 1 month share price return of 5.95 percent, a year to date share price decline of 14.27 percent, and a still impressive 3 year total shareholder return of 50.26 percent. This suggests longer term momentum remains intact even if sentiment has cooled lately.
If Rockwool’s move has you rethinking where capital and confidence are lining up, it could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With Rockwool’s shares down double digits this year but still boasting a strong three year track record and a buy back under way, some investors may be asking whether this is a mispriced quality compounder or whether the market is already factoring in its next leg of growth.
With Rockwool last closing at DKK218.10 against a narrative fair value closer to DKK250, the current buy back sits against a perceived valuation gap.
Ongoing and near term capacity expansions in key growth markets (U.S., Romania, India, West Coast U.S., France), including new electrified production lines, position Rockwool to capitalize on surging demand from tighter building codes and energy efficiency mandates. This supports both top line growth and higher utilization driven margin leverage over the medium
to long term.
Want to see what kind of revenue ramp, margin shape, and future earnings multiple are baked into that fair value, and how aggressively buy backs tilt the equation? Explore the full narrative to unpack the numbers behind this upside case.
Result: Fair Value of $250.06 (UNDERVALUED)
