Most Popular Narrative: 31% Undervalued

Rogers is trading at $133.06, while the most widely followed narrative anchors fair value at $193.33, so the market is treating that long term earnings path with a sizeable discount.

Expansion into AI data center connectivity and cooling through next generation PTFE-based laminates that already meet and exceed M9 performance requirements, with a path to M10, and direct-to-chip microchannel coolers now being prototyped with several major AI chip and data center customers, alongside management’s expectation that these adjacencies contribute meaningfully to roughly US$450 million of targeted incremental revenue by 2030, provides a potential new leg of growth and margin mix improvement.

See why 2 investors see Rogers as 31% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $193.33 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the Rogers narrative can be knocked off course if the high P/E ratio does not reconcile with future earnings delivery, or if EV substrate demand underwhelms.
