Most Popular Narrative: 21.2% Undervalued
Volkswagen’s most followed narrative puts fair value at €111.54 per share versus the last close of €87.84, framing the current price as a sizeable discount driven by execution on cost cuts, electrification and new software driven revenue.
Significant progress in vehicle digitalization (for example, expansion of CARIAD software revenues, Level 4 autonomous driving development, and mobility-as-a-service launches) opens up higher-margin service and subscription revenue streams, which can lift gross margins and provide more resilient, recurring earnings.
