Konecranes (HLSE:KCR) Could Be 18% Undervalued As Eurogate Order Tests Automation Story

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Konecranes (HLSE:KCR) shares are in focus after Eurogate Terminal Solutions ordered four Automated Stacking Cranes for its Wilhelmshaven facility, with an option for four more units at Hamburg.

The Eurogate deal lands at a moment when Konecranes shares trade at €30.24, with short term momentum picking up, as shown by a 10.45% 90 day share price return. A 33.99% 1 year total shareholder return points to a much stronger longer term run.

Scan other port, logistics and automation players showing similar momentum to Konecranes with the hand picked 92 robotics and automation stocks, which taps into this same crane and terminal automation theme.

The Eurogate order and strong recent share run leave Konecranes trading below both analyst targets and one estimate of fair value. Is that discount caution well placed, or has the market become too wary?

Most Popular Narrative: 18% Undervalued

Konecranes is framed as undervalued in the most followed narrative, with a fair value of €36.75 against the latest close at €30.24, and that gap is being linked directly to long run automation and decarbonisation spending.

The intensifying shift toward automation and smart manufacturing is driving strong demand for advanced port and industrial solutions (like electrified, automation-ready cranes), as reflected in Port Solutions' record order intake and margins. This is described as a factor that could accelerate top-line revenue growth if global investment in Industry 4.0 and port modernization continues.

See why 19 investors see Konecranes as 18% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of €36.75 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, Konecranes depends heavily on cyclical industrial and port demand, and foreign exchange swings and supply chain delays could quickly challenge the upbeat automation story.
