Euronext Paris Stocks Estimated To Be Undervalued In June 2024
As of June 2024, the French stock market is showing signs of resilience, with the CAC 40 Index recently climbing by 1.67% amid easing political uncertainties and a more favorable outlook for monetary policy across Europe.

We'll examine a selection from our screener results
Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS
Overview: Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS is a private equity firm focused on infrastructure investments, with a market capitalization of approximately €2.07 billion.
Operations: The firm generates revenue primarily through its asset management segment, totaling approximately €282.87 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 25.9%
Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS, trading at €11.54, is perceived as undervalued with a fair value estimate of €15.57 based on discounted cash flows, indicating a 25.9% undervaluation. Despite recent dividend distributions totaling €0.71 per share for the year, the dividend coverage by earnings and cash flows remains weak. The company's revenue and earnings are expected to grow annually by 12.7% and 25.9%, respectively, outpacing the French market projections significantly in both areas; however, shareholder dilution over the past year poses a concern for potential investors.
Thales
Overview: Thales S.A. is a global company offering solutions in defense, aerospace, digital identity and security, and transportation sectors, with a market capitalization of approximately €32.04 billion.
Operations: Thales generates revenue from four primary segments: Aerospace (€5.34 billion), Digital Identity & Security (€3.42 billion), and Defense & Security excluding Digital I&S (€10.18 billion).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 39.2%
Thales, priced at €155.05, is currently valued below its estimated fair value of €254.94, suggesting a significant undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. Recent strategic alliances and product launches underline its active expansion in global markets and sectors like cybersecurity and satellite-based surveillance, potentially enhancing future cash flows. However, it carries high debt levels and has shown an unstable dividend track record, which could concern risk-averse investors. Despite these challenges, Thales's revenue is expected to grow by 6.3% annually, slightly above the French market forecast of 5.8%.
Vivendi
Overview: Vivendi SE is a France-based entertainment, media, and communication company with operations spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia/Oceania, and Africa, boasting a market capitalization of €10.09 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily generated through six segments: Canal + Group (€6.06 billion), Havas Group (€2.87 billion), Lagardère (€0.67 billion), Gameloft (€0.31 billion), Prisma Media (€0.31 billion), and Vivendi Village (€0.18 billion).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 36.8%
Vivendi, trading at €9.85, appears undervalued with its price significantly below the fair value of €15.57 determined by discounted cash flow analysis. It recently reported a substantial revenue increase to €4.27 billion in Q1 2024, up from €2.29 billion the previous year, signaling strong sales momentum. Despite this positive trend, its Return on Equity is expected to remain low at 6%, and it has an unstable dividend history with a recent affirmation of a €0.25 per share payout for fiscal 2023. Analysts forecast Vivendi's earnings to grow by 29.26% annually, outpacing the French market projection of 11% growth per year.
