Eurofins Scientific (ENXTPA:ERF): Has the 20% Year-To-Date Rally Closed Its Valuation Gap?

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Eurofins Scientific (ENXTPA:ERF) has quietly outperformed this year, with the stock up roughly 20% year to date, despite a more mixed picture over the past month and quarter.

See our latest analysis for Eurofins Scientific.

That 19.5% year to date share price return, alongside a 23% one year total shareholder return, suggests sentiment has been steadily improving as investors reassess Eurofins Scientific's growth prospects and risk profile around its current €58.26 share price.

If Eurofins's move has you rethinking the healthcare space, it could be worth exploring other opportunities across healthcare stocks to see what else matches your strategy.

With double digit gains this year, solid earnings momentum and a meaningful gap to some valuation estimates, the key question now is whether Eurofins still trades below fair value or if the market already reflects its next leg of growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 8.9% Undervalued

Compared to Eurofins Scientific's last close at €58.26, the most followed narrative points to a moderately higher fair value, anchored in long term growth and margin gains.

The company's significant investments in automation, digitalization, and its hub and spoke laboratory infrastructure are expected to materially improve operating efficiency and scalability by 2027. These measures should drive enhanced net margins and earnings growth as operational costs decrease and productivity improves.
