ID Logistics Group (ENXTPA:IDL) drew fresh attention after reporting third quarter 2026 revenue of €1,177.9 million and nine month sales of €3,262.5 million, both above the prior year periods.
The fresh trading update lands after a volatile spell for ID Logistics Group, with the stock rising 11.86% on a 1 month share price return but still down 10.04% on a year to date share price basis, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 42.07% points to stronger, longer run momentum.

Valuation is where the ID Logistics Group story becomes more demanding, because the stock carries a P/E of 35.4x even as it trades at €363.
The P/E ratio compares what investors are currently willing to pay for each €1 of earnings. For a contract logistics specialist like ID Logistics Group, that benchmark gives a quick sense of how strongly the market is pricing in future profit delivery and the resilience of its model across sectors such as FMCG, e-commerce and healthcare.
IDL is described as expensive relative to several anchors. The current P/E of 35.4x is more than double the estimated fair P/E of 16.2x, and also far above both the peer average of 15.2x and the global logistics industry average of 14.5x. That gap signals that the market is paying a significant premium versus what the SWS fair ratio implies the valuation could move toward if sentiment or expectations normalise.
Against that backdrop, the stock is also flagged as trading 73.3% below one estimate of fair value based on future cash flows, which points to a sharp difference between what the P/E suggests and what a discounted cash flow output implies. Combined with expectations for earnings to grow 20.06% per year and revenue to advance 11.1% per year, the current multiple looks like a bet that this growth profile and earnings quality can support a higher valuation than sector norms for an extended period.

Result: Price-to-earnings of 35.4x (OVERVALUED)
Still, the rich 35.4x P/E for ID Logistics Group sits against a year to date share price decline, and there is potential for disappointment if growth assumptions or cash flow forecasts are revised down.

The P/E paints ID Logistics Group as expensive, yet the SWS DCF model points the other way. On that cash flow view, the shares at €363 trade around 73.3% below an estimated future value of €1,360.6, which frames the stock as materially undervalued instead.
That wide gap between an apparently stretched 35.4x earnings multiple and a supportive cash flow estimate leaves you with a practical question: Which signal do you trust more when both are staring at the same business?
