# A Look At Eni (BIT:ENI) Valuation After Strong Q1 Results And Expanded Buyback Program

Eni (BIT:ENI) is back in focus after first quarter 2026 results. Raised full year cash flow guidance, a larger share buyback plan, and new resource discoveries are capturing fresh investor attention.

See our latest analysis for Eni.

At a share price of €23.415, Eni has a 90 day share price return of 37.12% and a year to date share price return of 43.11%. The 1 year total shareholder return of 96.76% underscores strong recent momentum.

## Most Popular Narrative: 4.1% Undervalued

With Eni's fair value in the most followed narrative at €24.42 versus a last close of €23.415, the gap is modest and rests on some ambitious transition projects.

> _The acceleration of Eni's biorefining and sustainable mobility businesses, including multiple new biorefinery projects and partnerships (e.g., Ares in Plenitude, KKR in Enilive), supports growth in lower-carbon, higher-margin revenue streams. Enhanced market demand and supportive regulatory changes, especially in EU and US biofuels, are likely catalysts for margin expansion and improved return on equity._

Curious what kind of revenue mix and margin profile could justify this valuation gap? The narrative leans heavily on higher quality earnings from cleaner fuels and mobility, plus a specific earnings multiple that assumes meaningful progress well beyond traditional upstream operations.

**Result: Fair Value of €24.42 (UNDERVALUED)**

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, this story can change quickly if Plenitude stays cash flow negative for longer than expected, or if geopolitical issues disrupt Eni's upstream and LNG projects.

## Another Way To Look At Value

While one narrative points to a modest 4.1% undervaluation using fair value estimates, the current P/E of 23.2x tells a tougher story. It sits well above the European Oil and Gas industry at 16.6x and peers at 16.7x, yet below a 26.7x fair ratio. That mix suggests less of a clear bargain and more of a judgment call on how far the market might move toward that fair ratio.

Before you lean too heavily on earnings multiples, it can help to see what the underlying numbers imply about pricing power, growth assumptions, and downside if sentiment cools. You can then compare that with other names on your radar.See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.
