Is Peab (OM:PEAB B) A Bargain As Its Askim Contract Win Lifts Valuation Questions?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Peab (OM:PEAB B) has landed a NOK 319 million housing and commercial contract in Askim’s Bytorget project in Norway, putting a fresh construction order in focus for investors.

Peab’s NOK 319 million Bytorget win comes during a period where the share price has gained 8.86% year to date and the 1-year total shareholder return is 26.42%, hinting at building momentum despite a 6% share price pullback over the past month.

Scan how Peab’s contract win compares with other construction and infrastructure stocks showing fresh momentum by running through our hand picked list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals (204 results).

Peab appears to be a solid Nordic builder with fresh orders coming in and a strong recent return profile. The key question now is whether that track record and the new contract are already fully reflected in the share price.

Price-to-Earnings of 12.7x: Is it justified?

Peab shares last closed at SEK94, while the stock is being flagged as trading at good value with a P/E ratio of 12.7x compared with both peers and the broader European construction group. That gap suggests investors are paying less for each krona of earnings than the market is paying for similar businesses.

The P/E ratio compares the current share price with the company’s earnings per share. For a builder like Peab, which operates across construction, civil engineering and project development, this metric gives a quick read on how the market is pricing its profit engine relative to other listed contractors.

Peab is described as good value on several fronts. Its 12.7x P/E is below the European Construction industry average of 14.8x, and also below a peer average of 19.9x. It is also lower than the estimated fair P/E of 20.2x that the SWS fair ratio points to, a level the valuation work suggests the market could move towards if current earnings quality and growth forecasts hold.

Explore the SWS fair ratio for Peab.

Result: Price-to-Earnings of 12.7x (UNDERVALUED)

Still, Peab carries clear risks if construction demand weakens or if project execution stumbles, which could pressure both earnings and the current valuation case.
