Thales (ENXTPA:HO) Looks Undervalued After New Cyber And Frontier AI Launches

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Thales (ENXTPA:HO) has launched several new cyber and AI security offerings, including a global framework to address risks from powerful Frontier AI systems and new tools to harden software and protect distributed sensitive data.

These launches arrive after a busy few weeks for Thales, including an expanded AI security partnership with Google Cloud and a fresh interim dividend announcement. Yet the share price has drifted, with a 30-day share price return down 7.31% and a 1-year total shareholder return down 16.44%, while the 5-year total shareholder return of 186.23% still points to strong longer term momentum.

Scan how other AI security and defence specialists are priced by running the curated 92 AI infrastructure stocks alongside Thales after this latest round of cyber and Frontier AI launches.

So the question now is whether Thales is being marked down because something has changed in the underlying business, or whether sentiment has simply swung away faster than the fundamentals.

Most Popular Narrative: 27% Undervalued

On the prevailing narrative, Thales screens as undervalued, with a fair value around €295 against a last close of €215.70. This sets up a clear tension between the current share price and longer term expectations based on cash flows and earnings power.

Heightened innovation and R&D in next-generation technologies (AI, secure communications, space tech, digitization), along with cross-business synergies from acquisitions, position Thales to remain a market leader amid secular shifts toward digital transformation in security, favorably impacting long-term revenue growth and margin resilience.

See why 100 investors see Thales as 27% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of €295 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, that 2026 charge on the German F126 frigates program and ongoing execution risk in the Cyber & Digital division could easily puncture the bullish Thales narrative.
