Schneider Electric (ENXTPA:SU): Revisiting Valuation After Recent Gains and Longer-Term Shareholder Returns

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Schneider Electric (ENXTPA:SU) has been quietly grinding higher over the past month, adding about 6% even after a softer past week. That mix of short term noise and steady gains makes the current setup interesting.

See our latest analysis for Schneider Electric.

That recent 6.4% 1 month share price return sits against a slightly negative year to date move, while a modest 1 year total shareholder return of 0.7% caps a far stronger 3 year total shareholder return above 90%. This suggests Schneider Electric’s longer term momentum remains firmly intact even if near term sentiment is mixed.

If Schneider Electric’s steady compounding appeals to you, this could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership and see which other names are quietly building powerful long term stories.

With shares treading water this year despite solid double digit earnings growth and a healthy gap to analyst price targets, investors now face a key question: is Schneider Electric a mispriced compounder, or is the market already baking in years of future growth?

Another Angle on Valuation

On earnings, Schneider Electric does not look cheap. It trades on a 30.9x price to earnings ratio versus about 24.5x for peers and 23.9x for the wider European Electrical industry, even though a fair ratio near 33.6x suggests the market could still push the multiple higher. Is that premium a cushion or a risk if growth stumbles?
