What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (€1.11). The favourable scenario is already priced in.

Analysis

Planoptik AG (P4O) currently trades at €8.62, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €0.8700, implying the stock looks roughly 89.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 35/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology 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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Planoptik AG generated revenue of €11.5M at a net margin of -0.5%. Revenue declined 7.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -0.5%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 130.9. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €0.6200 (bear case) to €1.11 (bull case); at €8.62, 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 46% below its 52-week high and 169% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -90%, P4O 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.

Note: the current price implies far more future growth than the conservative anchors of our models allow (base growth is deliberately capped, we do not regard such extreme rates as sustainable). Our models are not designed for expectations this high; that is why the individual models scatter extremely (€0.2700 to €5.58). Read the values as a conservative anchor, not as a price target.
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
