Bulls can point to the current 51.7% margin and €4.32 trailing EPS as evidence that recent profitability is stronger than the 5 year trend suggests. At the same time, the earlier 36.8% margin and negative 5 year earnings trend back up critics who say investors should look at more than just one strong 12 month period. Revenue edging down while EPS trends higher Revenue across the last three reported half years moved from €15.4 million in 1H 2024 to €13.5 million in 2H 2024 and €15.9 million in 1H 2025, while basic EPS over those halves came in at €1.67, €1.47 and €1.72 respectively, with trailing EPS rising from €3.13 to €4.32 over the same broader period. Critics who take a more bearish stance often focus on the forecast 1% annual revenue decline and 9.1% annual earnings decline over the next three years, and the current trends give them mixed evidence to work with:
The relatively flat trailing revenue line around €29.3 million supports the idea that top line growth may be limited, which fits the forecast for modest revenue decline. However, the move in trailing EPS from €3.13 to €4.32 and recent 42.2% earnings growth run counter to the view that earnings are already under pressure, instead showing stronger profit per share in the latest period. Low P/E and DCF gap vs longer term weakness On the valuation side, a P/E of 9.5x at a €41.00 share price sits below the European REITs average of 12.9x and peer average of 14.7x, while the supplied DCF fair value of about €144.65 points to a large gap between the current price and that modelled value. Supporters of a bullish angle often highlight this discount, yet the numbers introduce some tension with that view:
The combination of a lower P/E than sector and peers plus the DCF fair value of €144.65 heavily supports the idea that the market is pricing the stock more cautiously than those valuation references. At the same time, a 5.6% average annual earnings decline over five years, forecast 9.1% yearly earnings decline and the flagged issue that debt is not well covered by operating cash flow help explain why the market might keep the P/E lower despite the modelled upside.
