For AB Volvo, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, starting with last twelve month free cash flow of about SEK29.9b. Analyst and extrapolated projections then extend out ten years, with forecast free cash flow of SEK54.3b in 2030 and further estimated figures through 2035. Each of these future cash flows is discounted back to a present value using Simply Wall St's assumptions. Putting these cash flows together gives an estimated intrinsic value of SEK468.06 per share. Against the current share price of SEK330.60, the DCF suggests the stock is trading at a 29.4% discount, which indicates AB Volvo appears undervalued on this cash flow based view. **Result: UNDERVALUED** Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests AB Volvo is undervalued by 29.4%.

It helps you see how much the market is currently willing to pay for those earnings. What counts as a “normal” or “fair” P/E depends on how the market views a company’s growth potential and risk. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can justify a higher P/E, while slower growth or higher risk typically supports a lower P/E. AB Volvo currently trades on a P/E of 20.45x. That sits below the Machinery industry average P/E of 26.65x and also below the peer group average of 38.33x. Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for AB Volvo is 38.92x, which is a proprietary estimate of the P/E that could be expected given factors like earnings growth, industry, profit margins, market size and key risks. This Fair Ratio can be more useful than a simple peer or industry comparison because it adjusts for these company specific characteristics. Since AB Volvo’s current P/E of 20.45x is meaningfully below the Fair Ratio of 38.92x, the stock screens as undervalued on this earnings based view. **Result: UNDERVALUED** OM:VOLV B P/E Ratio as at May 2026 P/E ratios tell one story, but what if the real opportunity lies elsewhere?

For AB Volvo however we'll make it really easy for you with previews of two leading AB Volvo Narratives: **🐂 AB Volvo Bull Case** Narrative fair value: SEK438.80 Implied undervaluation vs last close: 24.6% Revenue growth assumption: 5% - The bullish view highlights AB Volvo's push into electric trucks and buses, aftermarket services and autonomous and AI enabled fleet solutions as key long term drivers. - It points to regulatory support for low emission transport and digital fleet management as helpful tailwinds, while still flagging cyclical demand, new EV competitors and raw material costs as important risks. - The narrative assumes AB Volvo shifts further toward higher margin software and subscription services, which supports a higher fair value estimate than the current share price. **🐻 AB Volvo Bear Case** Narrative fair value: SEK270.00 Implied overvaluation vs last close: 22.4% Revenue growth assumption: 8.27% - The more cautious view anchors on a fair value of SEK270, focusing on modest revenue growth, supply chain pressures and wider auto sector uncertainty. - It still highlights AB Volvo's focus on electric vehicles, autonomous driving technology and dividends, but suggests these positives are already well reflected above the narrative fair value. - The narrative frames AB Volvo as a solid dividend payer with growth potential, yet one where investors may want to compare the current price with this lower fair value estimate before making a decision.
