What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (€35.11). The favourable scenario is already priced in.

Analysis

Lechwerke AG (LEC) currently trades at €64.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €28.09, implying the stock looks roughly 56.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Utilities sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Lechwerke AG generated revenue of €934M at a net margin of 10.6%. Revenue declined 21.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.9%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 23.1. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €21.07 (bear case) to €35.11 (bull case); at €64.50, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 12% below its 52-week high and 2% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -56%, LEC screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
