While Dürr Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:DUE) might not have the largest market cap around , it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the XTRA. Shareholders may appreciate the recent price jump, but the company still has a way to go before reaching its yearly highs again. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Dürr’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.

What Is Dürr Worth?

Good news, investors! Dürr is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €32.68, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, Dürr’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What does the future of Dürr look like?XTRA:DUE Earnings and Revenue Growth April 29th 2026

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 8.0% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Dürr, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since DUE is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on DUE for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy DUE. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.

Positive Points

Duerr AG (DURYY) successfully simplified its group structure, reducing divisions from five to three, focusing on core business areas. The company achieved a significant post-tax book gain of EUR227 million from the sale of its non-core environmental technology business. Operating EBIT increased by 19% despite a slight drop in sales, supported by a 50% earnings increase at HOMAG. The EBIT margin before extraordinaries improved by 100 basis points, reaching 5.6%, slightly exceeding the target corridor.

Negative Points

Sales were not satisfying at EUR4.2 billion due to customer-induced project delays. The company faced high extraordinary expenses of EUR204 million, impacting the reported EBIT margin. Order intake was impacted by tariff conflicts, leading to lower-than-expected new orders in Q2 and Q3. The lithium-ion battery business faced market weakness, resulting in a EUR15 million impairment. Free cash flow guidance for 2026 is cautious, with potential for negative cash flow due to advanced customer payments received in 2025.

Q & A Highlights

Q: Are there any initiatives to increase the share of service revenues, which currently fluctuates around 30%? A: Jochen Weyrauch, CEO: We have ongoing initiatives to expand service revenues, particularly in Automotive, where we are introducing new offerings like RFID chips in spare parts to enhance customer engagement and business captivation. In HOMAG, we are developing standardized service and upgrade programs. For Industrial Automation, especially at BBS, we are launching programs to tap into potential service business growth.

A: Dietmar Heinrich, CFO: The impairment totaled EUR135 million, with EUR120 million related to BBS Automation and EUR15 million to the lithium-ion battery business.

Q: How are you managing capacities in the Automotive sector, given the competitive market in China? A: Jochen Weyrauch, CEO: We manage projects globally, involving teams from multiple countries, which allows us to handle capacities effectively. Our profitability is supported by purchased goods, reducing dependency on factory loads, and we maintain healthy margins in our order backlog.

Q: With regard to the order intake and group guidance for Q4, is it likely that you will end up at the lower end of the range? How does this look on a divisional level?

If you're looking for a multi-bagger, there's a few things to keep an eye out for. One common approach is to try and find a company with returns on capital employed (ROCE) that are increasing, in conjunction with a growing amount of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. Having said that, from a first glance at Dürr (ETR:DUE) we aren't jumping out of our chairs at how returns are trending, but let's have a deeper look.

This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.

Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)

For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Dürr is:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)

0.015 = €33m ÷ (€4.6b - €2.4b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2025).

Thus, Dürr has an ROCE of 1.5%. Ultimately, that's a low return and it under-performs the Machinery industry average of 8.4%.

Above you can see how the current ROCE for Dürr compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for Dürr .

What Does the ROCE Trend For Dürr Tell Us?

When we looked at the ROCE trend at Dürr, we didn't gain much confidence. Over the last five years, returns on capital have decreased to 1.5% from 4.9% five years ago. On the other hand, the company has been employing more capital without a corresponding improvement in sales in the last year, which could suggest these investments are longer term plays. It's worth keeping an eye on the company's earnings from here on to see if these investments do end up contributing to the bottom line.

Another thing to note, Dürr has a high ratio of current liabilities to total assets of 53%. This can bring about some risks because the company is basically operating with a rather large reliance on its suppliers or other sorts of short-term creditors. Ideally we'd like to see this reduce as that would mean fewer obligations bearing risks.

In Conclusion...

In summary, Dürr is reinvesting funds back into the business for growth but unfortunately it looks like sales haven't increased much just yet. Since the stock has declined 31% over the last five years, investors may not be too optimistic on this trend improving either. All in all, the inherent trends aren't typical of multi-baggers, so if that's what you're after, we think you might have more luck elsewhere.

Like most companies, Dürr does come with some risks, and we've found 1 warning sign that you should be aware of.

Dürr Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:DUE), is not the largest company out there, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the XTRA, rising to highs of €23.60 and falling to the lows of €19.22. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Dürr's current trading price of €20.20 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Dürr’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Dürr?

Good news, investors! Dürr is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €26.39, but it is currently trading at €20.20 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Dürr’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Dürr generate?XTRA:DUE Earnings and Revenue Growth November 3rd 2025

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. Dürr's revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. Unless expenses grow at the same level, or higher, this top-line growth should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since DUE is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on DUE for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock.
