Most Popular Narrative: 3.3% Undervalued

Eni's most followed valuation storyline points to a fair value of about €24.80 compared with the latest close of €23.98, which suggests modest upside and puts recent share price strength into clearer context.

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.
