Profit Margins Seen Rebounding After Dip

• Although net profit margin declined to 32.8% (from 38.5%), forecasts now signal an increase to 34.3% by 2028. This suggests a near-term squeeze could be followed by margin expansion as new segments and insurance products mature.
• Analysts' consensus narrative points out that
  • structural changes, international expansion, and product diversification are likely to stabilize and grow margins,
  • but continued volatility from sector headwinds and internal restructuring could delay a return to peak profitability and drive earnings variability.

Valuation Deeply Discounted Versus Peers and DCF

• With shares trading at €7.26, Taaleri’s price-to-earnings ratio is just 9.6x compared to 26.5x for peers and 16.6x for the sector. The share price is far below the DCF fair value of €16.05 and also beneath analysts’ price target of €8.50.
• Consensus narrative highlights a tug-of-war:
  • investors see high-quality historic earnings and cheap valuation as attractive,
  • but are wary of risks around declining revenues, pressure on profitability, and uncertainty about how quickly new business lines can compensate for legacy declines.
