Iveco Group (BIT:IVG)

Overview: Iveco Group N.V. is involved in the design, production, marketing, sale, servicing, and financing of a wide range of vehicles and related systems across various regions globally with a market cap of €4.88 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Truck segment (€9.35 billion), followed by Powertrain (€3.26 billion), Bus (€2.76 billion), Defence (€1.25 billion), and Financial Services (€498 million).

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 11.8%

Iveco Group, trading at €18.33, is undervalued relative to its estimated fair value of €20.79. Despite recent volatility, its earnings are forecasted to grow significantly at 21.5% annually over the next three years, outpacing the Italian market's growth rate. However, interest payments are not well covered by earnings and dividends aren't fully supported by free cash flows. The upcoming acquisition by Tata Motors for $4.4 billion adds strategic value but involves delisting from Euronext Milan after restructuring efforts including a defense unit sale.
