EnerSys (ENS): Assessing Valuation After a 52% Year‑to‑Date Rally and Recent Pullback

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

EnerSys (ENS) has quietly become a strong performer, with the stock up about 52% year-to-date and roughly 50% over the past year, even after a recent pullback this week.

See our latest analysis for EnerSys.

The latest dip, including a 3.22% one day share price decline, looks more like a breather after a strong run. A 90 day share price return of 25.85% suggests momentum is still broadly intact, alongside a solid multi year total shareholder return profile.

If EnerSys has caught your attention, this is a good moment to broaden your search and discover fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With earnings growing faster than revenue and the share price still below analyst targets, the key question now is whether EnerSys remains undervalued or if the market is already pricing in its next leg of growth.

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 3% Undervalued

With EnerSys last closing at $140.16 against a most popular narrative fair value of about $144, the story hinges on steady growth and expanding margins rather than explosive upside.

Major cost reduction initiatives, including a strategic realignment and transition to Centers of Excellence (CoEs), are expected to generate $80 million in annualized savings starting in fiscal 2026, structurally expanding net and operating margins. EnerSys is embedding IoT and predictive analytics capabilities into its products, enabling cross selling of higher value services and energy management solutions, which should expand the addressable market and support both top line growth and margin improvement over time.

However, lingering trade policy uncertainty and dependence on acquisition-driven growth could still derail the margin and earnings improvements underpinning this optimistic outlook.

Another Angle on Valuation

Our SWS DCF model paints a very different picture, suggesting fair value closer to $58.51 per share. This would make EnerSys look overvalued at today’s price of more than $140 per share. Is the cash flow view too harsh, or are earnings based narratives too generous?
