<div id="readability-page-1"><div><p>AF Gruppen (OB:AFG) is in focus after securing a consortium contract to engineer and decommission a large North Sea platform, while also progressing a zero-emission facility in Drammen that highlights its environmental services ambition.</p> <p>See our latest analysis for AF Gruppen.</p> <p>Despite the latest contract win and progress on the zero-emission facility, AF Gruppen’s share price sits at NOK182.4, with a 1 month share price return showing a 3.2% decline, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 32.9% points to stronger longer term momentum.</p> <p>If this kind of project driven growth potential interests you, it could be a good moment to widen your watchlist with our screener of 23 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks.</p> <p>With AF Gruppen trading at NOK182.4, showing weaker recent returns but a 1-year total shareholder return of 32.8% and an estimated intrinsic value suggesting a 26% discount, some investors may view this as a potential opportunity, while others may consider that expectations about future growth could already be reflected in the price.</p> <h2>Preferred P/E of 18.4x: Is it justified?</h2> <p>AF Gruppen trades on a P/E of 18.4x, which looks rich compared to several benchmarks even though the shares are at NOK182.4 and flagged as trading below an estimated intrinsic value.</p> <p>The P/E multiple compares the share price to earnings per share, so a higher P/E usually means the market is paying more for each unit of current earnings. For a contracting and industrial group like AF Gruppen, this often reflects how the market views the quality, consistency and growth potential of those earnings.</p> <p>Here, the data points pull in different directions. On one side, AF Gruppen is described as undervalued on a discounted cash flow basis, with the SWS DCF model estimating future cash flow value at NOK247.05 per share versus the current NOK182.4. Earnings growth over the past year was 54.4%, with higher profit margins and high quality earnings. On the other side, the current P/E of 18.4x sits above the estimated fair P/E of 17.7x, above the European Construction industry average of 16.3x and above the peer average of 13.8x. This indicates the market is already applying a premium that could moderate if pricing moved closer to that fair ratio level.</p> <p>Explore the SWS fair ratio for AF Gruppen</p> <p><strong>Result: Price-to-Earnings of 18.4x (OVERVALUED)</strong></p> <p>However, you also have to weigh risks such as AF Gruppen’s premium P/E multiple and any slowdown or delays in contract flow that could challenge today’s valuation narrative.</p> <p>Find out about the key risks to this AF Gruppen narrative.</p> <h2>Another View: DCF Suggests Undervaluation</h2> <p>While the P/E of 18.4x looks demanding, our DCF model points in a different direction. It shows an estimated future cash flow value of NOK247.05 per share compared with the current NOK182.4 per share. That indicates AF Gruppen trades at a 26.2% discount, so which signal do you trust more?</p> <p>Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.</p> <figure><img height="476" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/013e25c3-889d-429e-8ed8-e6abee35b49c/chart/dcf/query-ZGF0ZT0yMDI2LTAzLTA4?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/013e25c3-889d-429e-8ed8-e6abee35b49c/chart/dcf/query-ZGF0ZT0yMDI2LTAzLTA4"/><figcaption>AFG Discounted Cash Flow as at Mar 2026</figcaption></figure><p>Simply Wall St performs a discounted cash flow (DCF) on every stock in the world every day (check out AF Gruppen for example).
