## Most Popular Narrative: 10.6% Overvalued

Against the last close of DKK14,770, the most widely followed narrative puts fair value for A.P. Møller Mærsk at about DKK13,349, using a 6.23% discount rate.

> _The ongoing decline in average freight rates due to industry overcapacity, combined with intensifying digitalization and the rise of asset-light competing platforms, poses a structural challenge to Maersk's pricing power and long-term revenue growth; if investors are discounting these headwinds, forecasts for sustained high profitability or outsized long-term earnings may be too optimistic._
