Most Popular Narrative: 80.5% Undervalued
According to the most followed narrative from evd101, eToro Group's fair value of $148.85 sits far above the last close at $29.05, which frames a very wide valuation gap for investors to judge for themselves.
The valuation journey itself tells a story. Initial models produced an unusually high valuation, which required us to perform a rigorous stress test. We first adjusted our core assumptions for growth and profitability to more conservative, yet still ambitious, levels (12.5% revenue growth, 10% profit margin). When the valuation still signaled extreme undervaluation, we applied a demanding 21% discount rate to fully account for the high degree of uncertainty and risk involved. We felt that this was warranted, if only because a failed IPO of a company whose main clients are DIY investors who, most likely, were quite enthusiastically buying into that IPO, is a tricky one.
Curious what kind of earnings path and profitability profile could still point to such a high fair value after tougher assumptions and a steep discount rate are applied? The full narrative lays out the cash flow story and valuation logic in detail, including how quality, growth, and required return all feed into that $148.85 figure.
Result: Fair Value of $148.85 (UNDERVALUED)
