Despite the Mahindra win and recent conference appearances, momentum in Mobileye Global’s share price return has been weak overall. A 7 day share price return of 7.8% contrasts with a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 42.4% and a 3 year total shareholder return decline of 79.5%, leaving the stock at US$9.63.

With the share price down sharply over 1 and 3 years but trading at a discount to analyst targets and intrinsic estimates, is Mobileye undervalued today or already reflecting all the future growth investors are hoping for?
Mobileye Global’s most followed narrative puts fair value at about $18.20 per share, a long way above the last close at $9.63, which sets up a wide valuation gap for investors to interpret.
Bullish analysts point to ongoing wins in advanced driver assistance systems, including a large Surround ADAS award covering roughly 9 million vehicles starting in 2028, as support for the current valuation and for longer term growth potential.
Some see Mobileye as well positioned to benefit from increasing original equipment manufacturer outsourcing of premium Level 2+ features, with the potential for recurring software enabled revenue streams to support earnings quality over time. Read the complete narrative.
Curious what kind of revenue ramp and margin lift would need to sit behind that $18.20 fair value, and how much hinges on premium ADAS take up and software style income streams rather than hardware alone? The full narrative lays out those moving parts in detail, including how a higher long term earnings multiple is justified against that growth path.
Result: Fair Value of $18.20 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this hinges on global auto demand holding up, and tariffs or slower OEM decisions on SuperVision and Chauffeur could quickly undercut those fair value assumptions.

There is a catch. While the SWS DCF model flags Mobileye as trading about 39.3% below its estimated fair value of $15.86, the market is still pricing the stock at a P/S of 4.3x, compared with an industry average of 0.8x, peers at 1.1x and a fair ratio of 3.3x. That gap suggests you are paying a premium for growth expectations even if the cash flow math says the shares look cheap. The question is which signal you put more weight on.
