Schneider Electric (ENXTPA:SU) shares have seen modest movement this week, but there is no single headline driving activity. Investors are weighing recent performance and valuation in light of the company’s steady growth in both revenue and net income.
Schneider Electric’s share price has cooled off after a strong start to the year, with recent selling pressure trimming some gains. Yet, the overall picture remains positive. While the 90-day share price return stands out at 15.05%, longer-term shareholders have enjoyed a 4.43% total return over the past year and an impressive 138.99% over five years. This suggests steady momentum fueled by consistent growth fundamentals.
But with this strong long-term run and solid growth, is Schneider Electric undervalued right now, or are investors already pricing in all the potential upside that future years could bring?

Most Popular Narrative: 5.6% Undervalued
Schneider Electric’s fair value estimate sits above the latest share price, suggesting that the market may not be fully embracing the growth story built into leading narratives. This difference sets the stage for one of the central arguments that has investors watching closely.
The company's transition toward software and recurring digital services (notably EcoStruxure, AVEVA SaaS, and EcoCare), now representing 60% of revenues and growing at double-digit rates, should drive higher margins and recurring earnings. There is further upside potential as AVEVA's SaaS conversion completes by 2027.
What’s powering the narrative’s optimism? There is one underlying shift that could radically change Schneider Electric’s profit profile and margin outlook. Want to know which future business line unlocks this premium price? The full narrative reveals the key forecast fueling this valuation.
However, persistent margin pressure and slower than expected recovery in key segments could quickly change the optimistic outlook for Schneider Electric's growth narrative.
While fair value analysis signals Schneider Electric as undervalued, looking at the market’s pricing through its earnings ratio adds another angle. The company trades at a 32.2x ratio, which is notably higher than both the industry average (23.1x) and its peers (26.6x). However, the fair ratio of 35.5x suggests the market could justify even higher levels. Are investors paying up for quality growth, or does this create valuation risk if expectations slip?
