After a SEK539.4 share price and a 73.56% 1 year total return, some investors will wonder if Boliden has already priced in the Laver boost, or if the current valuation still leaves meaningful upside on the table.

Most Popular Narrative: 20% Overvalued

Boliden’s last close at SEK539.4 sits just above the most followed narrative fair value of SEK538.28, which leans on a 7.17% discount rate and detailed growth assumptions.

The Odda green zinc smelter expansion is on track with ramp-up in H2 2025 and full contribution expected in 2026, leveraging stricter environmental standards and demand for low-carbon metals in Europe, should improve both revenue growth and net margins due to potential premium pricing.

Curious what kind of revenue path, margin profile, and future earnings multiple need to line up for Boliden to justify that fair value signal? The narrative lays out a tight mix of projected top line growth, slightly softer profitability, and a future P/E that assumes the market rewards those cash flows more than it does today.
