    Fresh attention on Saab (OM:SAAB B) follows new research highlighting the company as a key supplier in the expanding UAV radar market, tied to higher defense spending on unmanned systems and counter drone capabilities.

    Saab’s share price has been firming, with a 6.32% 1 month share price return and an 18.15% 3 month share price return taking the stock to SEK610.5, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 26.89% sits against a very large 5 year total shareholder return of more than 9x. This hints at momentum that investors are still willing to pay attention to as new UAV radar spending themes emerge.

    After Saab’s sharp run and a share price close to recent targets, the real decision now is simple: step in at SEK610.5 or wait for the valuation to cool off.

    Most Popular Saab Narrative: 3.7% Undervalued

    The most followed valuation view currently pegs Saab’s fair value at SEK633.86, a touch above the last close at SEK610.5. This frames the recent rally as slightly behind that narrative value line rather than stretched beyond it.

    The significant ramp-up in global defense spending, especially following the recent NATO commitment for member states to target 5% of GDP by 2030-2035, is cited as a factor supporting demand for Saab's advanced defense solutions. Saab's backlog (~SEK 200 billion) and rising book-to-bill ratio are referenced as positioning it to participate in this long-duration trend.

    Result: Fair Value of SEK633.86 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, Saab’s reliance on government budgets and heavy upfront spending on capacity and R&D could quickly challenge that undervalued narrative if orders disappoint.

    Another View: Saab Through The P/E Lens

    That 3.7% discount to a SEK633.86 fair value tells only part of the story. On a P/E of 46.3x, Saab trades well above the European Aerospace & Defense average of 29.6x and the estimated fair ratio of 38.5x. The stock is priced richer than peers and that fair ratio, which the market could eventually gravitate toward, implies less room for error than the 3.7% undervalued tag suggests. Which signal do you weigh more heavily: a modest fair value gap or a stretched earnings multiple?
