As global markets navigate the early days of President Trump's administration, investors are buoyed by hopes for softer tariffs and enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence, propelling U.S. stocks to record highs. Amid this optimistic climate, identifying undervalued stocks becomes crucial as they offer potential opportunities for growth when trading below their estimated value.
Overview: Thule Group AB (publ) is a sports and leisure company operating in Sweden and internationally, with a market cap of SEK38.26 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Outdoor & Bags segment, which generated SEK9.43 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 12.3%
Thule Group's stock is trading at SEK353.2, below its fair value estimate of SEK402.55, indicating potential undervaluation. The company's revenue growth forecast of 14% annually surpasses the Swedish market average and its earnings are expected to grow significantly at 23.4% per year over the next three years. Despite an unstable dividend track record, Thule's high projected return on equity of 21.9% in three years enhances its investment appeal amidst ongoing strategic activities like considering Quad Lock acquisition.

ALSO Holding's stock, trading at CHF244.5, is significantly undervalued compared to its fair value estimate of CHF480.36. Despite a modest revenue growth forecast of 9.8% annually, which outpaces the Swiss market average, the company's earnings are expected to grow substantially at 26.4% per year over the next three years. However, a lower projected return on equity of 15.3% in three years may temper some investor enthusiasm despite its attractive valuation based on cash flows.
