Schneider Electric (ENXTPA:SU) has put home charging back in focus with Schneider Charge, a smart Level 2 residential EV charger now offered in the United States and Canada for homeowners and installers.

Over a longer stretch, total shareholder return of 32.71% over one year and 110.94% over five years suggests that investors have been rewarding the wider electrification and automation story.

Schneider Electric’s recent run raises a simple question. Are buyers reacting to sturdier electrification earnings, or leaning on optimism after a strong 24.66% year to date move into €295.5 territory, and what does that imply for value now?

Most Popular Narrative: 9.1% Undervalued
