Compagnie De Saint Gobain (ENXTPA:SGO) Could Be 29% Undervalued As Egypt Expansion Builds

Compagnie de Saint-Gobain (ENXTPA:SGO) is expanding its footprint in Egypt, unveiling a second float glass line in Ain Sokhna and a new plasterboard plant in Sadat City to tap long term construction demand.

Recent Egyptian expansion follows a tougher period in the market, with the share price delivering a year-to-date decline of 23.1% and a 1-year total shareholder return fall of 23.69%. However, longer term total shareholder returns of 40.77% over 3 years and 29.83% over 5 years indicate stronger historic momentum compared with the more recent slide.
