Even with this strategically timed push into e mobility, Edenred’s 1 year total shareholder return of minus 36.7% and 3 year total shareholder return of minus 60.1% show longer term sentiment has been weak. However, the recent 7 day share price return of 4.2% hints that momentum may be tentatively stabilising rather than breaking higher.
If this move in fleet electrification has you thinking more broadly about transport, it could be a good moment to explore auto manufacturers for other potential ideas.
So with earnings still growing and the share price trading at a steep discount to analyst targets and intrinsic value estimates, is Edenred a contrarian opportunity in e mobility, or is the market rightly sceptical about future growth?
With Edenred closing at €18.60 against a narrative fair value of €32.55, the disconnect in expectations is striking and sets up a bold outlook.
