This article will unpack what the current share price really implies.</li> <li>The stock has climbed 6.1% over the last week, 13.9% over the past month, and is now up 19.9% over the last year, building on a 70.2% gain over three years.</li> <li>Investors have been reacting to a stream of strategic updates and deal activity that signal how EQT is positioning itself in a shifting private markets landscape.

We will walk through different valuation approaches next and finish by exploring an intuitive way to judge whether the market is getting this story right.</li> </ul> <p>EQT scores just 0/6 on our valuation checks. See what other red flags we found in the full valuation breakdown.</p> <h3>Approach 1: EQT Excess Returns Analysis</h3> <p>The Excess Returns model looks at how much profit EQT can generate above the return that investors demand on its equity, then capitalises those surplus profits into an intrinsic value per share.</p> <p>For EQT, the model starts from a Book Value of SEK6.21 per share and a Stable EPS of SEK1.53 per share, based on weighted future Return on Equity estimates from 9 analysts. With an Average Return on Equity of 20.83%, the business is expected to earn comfortably more than its Cost of Equity of SEK0.46 per share. That gap, the Excess Return, is estimated at SEK1.07 per share.</p> <p>Over time, analysts expect the Stable Book Value to rise to SEK7.34 per share, supported by forecasts from 6 analysts. Combining this growing equity base with returns above the required rate is what drives the Excess Returns valuation.</p> <p>On this basis, EQT’s intrinsic value is estimated at about SEK336 per share, and this implies the stock is roughly 6.4% above its fair value, so only modestly overvalued at today’s price.</p> <p><strong>Result: ABOUT RIGHT</strong></p> <p>EQT is fairly valued according to our Excess Returns, but this can change at a moment's notice.

It naturally captures how the market is weighing today’s earnings against expectations for future growth and the perceived risk of those earnings.</p> <p>In general, faster growth and lower risk justify a higher PE multiple, while slower or more volatile earnings should trade on a lower multiple. EQT currently trades on a PE of 45.95x, which is well above both the broader Capital Markets industry average of 21.78x and its peer group average of 16.56x. That premium indicates that investors are already pricing in strong growth and a relatively resilient earnings profile.</p> <p>Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio metric goes a step further by estimating what PE multiple EQT should trade on given its specific earnings growth outlook, profitability, risk profile, industry positioning and market cap. For EQT, this Fair Ratio is 28.17x, materially below the current 45.95x. This suggests that, even after allowing for its strengths and growth prospects, the stock is pricing in more optimism than the fundamentals justify.</p> <p><strong>Result: OVERVALUED</strong></p> <figure><img height="476" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/58d36a8c-979e-421a-9b7d-205eb5e5e033/chart/pe-multiple-vs-industry?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="746" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/58d36a8c-979e-421a-9b7d-205eb5e5e033/chart/pe-multiple-vs-industry"/><figcaption>OM:EQT PE Ratio as at Dec 2025</figcaption></figure> <p>PE ratios tell one story, but what if the real opportunity lies elsewhere?

In a Narrative, you spell out how you think the business will grow, what margins it can achieve, and what multiple it deserves. The platform then instantly turns that story into a dynamic valuation you can compare with today’s share price to inform your decision on whether to buy, hold or sell.</p> <p>Because Narratives are continuously updated as new information like news or earnings arrives, you can see in real time how different perspectives play out. For example, one EQT investor might build a bullish Narrative that supports a fair value closer to SEK405.55, while a more cautious investor might justify something nearer SEK316.53. By seeing these side by side, you can quickly judge where your own view sits and how much potential upside or downside you believe is still on the table.</p> <p>Do you think there's more to the story for EQT?
