Analysis
Veolia Environnement SA (VIE) currently trades at €35.19, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €24.50, implying the stock looks roughly 30.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 41/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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, Veolia Environnement SA generated revenue of €44.4B at a net margin of 2.7%. Revenue declined 0.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.2%. Net debt stands at €12.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €16.02 (bear case) to €37.39 (bull case); at €35.19, the current price sits within 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 1% below its 52-week high and 34% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -41% fair-value upside, at -30%, VIE screens cheaper 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.
All 25 models by family
