Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Andritz (WBAG:ANDR) stock is in focus after the company and RAG Austria started building what is described as Austria's largest green hydrogen facility, a project tied closely to long term energy transition themes.

See our latest analysis for Andritz.

The green hydrogen project comes as Andritz shares trade at €73.3, with a 1-day share price return of 1.66% and a 7-day share price return of 1.81%. A 1-month share price return of 7.68% contrasts with a 90-day share price return of 7.95% and a 1-year total shareholder return of 22.58%, pointing to positive longer term momentum despite some recent cooling. Over three and five years, total shareholder returns of 74.00% and 94.07% respectively indicate that long term holders have seen stronger compounding than the shorter term share price swings might suggest.

Most Popular Narrative: 11.5% Undervalued

On the most followed narrative, Andritz is priced below an estimated fair value of €82.83, with the current share price at €73.3, so the valuation gap is in clear focus for investors weighing the new hydrogen project against long term assumptions.

The surge in order intake (+26% in Q2, +23% YTD) across Hydropower, Metals, and a recovering Pulp & Paper segment, combined with a record-high order backlog (€10.4bn), positions Andritz for a significant revenue rebound as backlogged projects are executed and as macro trends (decarbonization, infrastructure renewal) continue to spur end-market demand.

The key levers are all quantified, but the balance between growth, profitability, and required return may surprise you.

Result: Fair Value of €82.83 (UNDERVALUED)
