OHB (XTRA:OHB) Joins TecDAX, Is It Still 44% Below Fair Value?

Why OHB Stock Is Back On Investors’ Radar

OHB (XTRA:OHB) has been added to Germany’s TecDAX and TecDAX Total Return indices, a move that can reshape who owns the shares and how the stock trades day to day.

Recent trading has been choppy. OHB’s share price has slipped over the past week and month, including a roughly 37% decline in the 90 day share price return. Yet the year to date share price return of 38.1% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 114.9% keep longer term momentum firmly positive, as index inclusion refocuses attention on the valuation story.

After a sharp run that has pulled OHB into the TecDAX spotlight, the recent pullback raises a simple tension. Is this mostly the rally in the rear-view mirror, or is valuation still leaving meaningful upside on the table?

Most Popular Narrative: 44% Undervalued

On the most followed view of OHB, a fair value of €307 sits well above the latest €170.6 closing price, so the current pullback is being framed as a discount rather than the end of the story.

Record order backlog of EUR 3.1 billion together with management guidance for strong revenue and EBITDA growth through 2026 indicates that current profitability is still absorbing upfront transformation and hiring costs. This leaves room for earnings and net margin expansion as efficiency programs and industrialization gains increasingly flow through the income statement.

See why 8 investors see OHB as 44% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of €307 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the OHB narrative can crack if European space budgets are cut or if heavy upfront investment leaves new facilities underused for longer than expected.

Another View On OHB Using Earnings Multiples

While the DCF work suggests OHB shares trade at a discount to fair value, the price tag looks heavy when viewed through a simple earnings lens. The current P/E of 80.8x is far higher than the European Aerospace & Defense average of 33.8x and also above the peer group on 48.3x.

Even against a fair ratio of 59.4x that the market could move toward over time, OHB still screens expensive. This points to less room for error if growth or margins fall short of forecasts. If the story relies on premium pricing today, how comfortable are you with that gap?
