What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (35/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (€39.45). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.

Analysis

Traton SE (8TRA) currently trades at €37.08, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €52.60, implying the stock looks roughly 29.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 35/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of €57.87 per share, and 8 of the 17 models we run sit above the €37.08 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at €16.78, and 9 of the 17 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Traton SE generated revenue of €43.7B at a net margin of 3.0%. Revenue declined 3.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.9%. Net debt stands at €24.2B. Fundamentals as of Sep 6, 2026

Scenario range: €39.45 (bear) to €65.75 (bull), the price of €37.08 sits below it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 1% below its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −18% fair-value upside, at 42%, 8TRA screens cheaper than that median.

Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 8 months old). Earnings retained since then (€1.16 per share) are deliberately not added.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
