With Dürr trading at €21.45 and indicators such as an intrinsic discount of about 36% and a value score of 5, the key question is whether this is a genuine opportunity or if the market already reflects future growth.

Preferred Price to Sales ratio of 0.4x: Is it justified?

On a P/S basis, Dürr looks inexpensive, with the shares trading at €21.45 and a multiple of 0.4x that compares favourably to peers and its own fair level.

The P/S ratio compares the company’s market value to its annual revenue and is often used for businesses that are currently unprofitable, as is the case with Dürr. For an engineering group generating revenue of about €4.17b, a low P/S can indicate that the market is cautious about future margins or growth, or that it has not fully reflected potential improvement in earnings.

Compared with the German Machinery industry average P/S of 0.7x and a fair P/S estimate of 0.5x, Dürr’s 0.4x stands at a clear discount. Some investors may interpret this as room for a re-rating if the business delivers on expectations.

Result: Price to sales ratio of 0.4x (UNDERVALUED)

However, there are still clear risks, including the recent net income loss of €52.104m and the possibility that weaker profitability will keep the P/S ratio subdued for longer.

Another view on value

While the low 0.4x P/S points to a discount, the SWS DCF model paints a similar picture, with an estimated future cash flow value of about €33.55 per share versus the current €21.45 price. This implies that Dürr trades below that estimate and raises the question of what the market is still worried about.
