    Waymo partnership expansion puts Element Fleet Management in the autonomous spotlight

    Element Fleet Management (TSX:EFN) is extending its work with Waymo into Toronto, taking on on the ground operations for the autonomous vehicle rollout and deepening its role in electric, data rich fleet services.

    Recent trading tells a mixed story for Element Fleet Management. The share price closed at CA$21.8, with a 1 day share price return of 1.44% and a 7 day share price return of 2.44%. However, the 30 day share price return is down 8.6% and the 90 day share price return is down 31.85%. This contrasts with the 3 year total shareholder return of 23.02% and the 5 year total shareholder return of 79.15%, which point to a much stronger long run record than the 1 year total shareholder return, which is down 41.03%.

    The Waymo expansion and other recent corporate developments, such as Element Fleet Management's upcoming appearance at the National Minority Supplier Diversity Conference on 25 October 2026, appear to be landing in a market that is reassessing near term risks after a sharp pullback. This leaves the stock showing improving short term momentum on the back of this partnership news, while still reflecting a weak year to date share price return of 39.21%.

    After a sharp pullback, but with a long-term record that is still positive, Element Fleet Management now forces a harder question. Does the current valuation still offer enough upside potential to justify today’s risks for new buyers?

    Most Popular Narrative: 46% Undervalued

    With Element Fleet Management last closing at CA$21.8 against a narrative fair value of CA$40.30, the current setup frames a wide gap between price and modeled worth that this Waymo partnership now feeds into.

    The successful expansion into services such as advanced telematics, AI-driven analytics, and new mobility offerings through Element Mobility and partnerships (e.g., Samsara and Modis) positions the company to capitalize on the growing demand for data-driven fleet optimization and outsourced mobility solutions, which is likely to drive long-term recurring services revenue growth and improved net margins.

    See why 12 investors see Element Fleet Management as 46% undervalued.

    Based on this widely followed valuation framework, Element Fleet Management trades at a steep discount to the CA$40.30 fair value that uses a 7.67% discount rate and incorporates both the upside from higher forecast earnings and the risk of declining revenue. The tension between forecast profit growth and shrinking top line, alongside heavy use of debt funding and an uneven recent share price record, is already embedded in that modeled figure rather than ignored.

    Result: Fair Value of CA$40.30 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, Element Fleet Management faces real pressure if revenue keeps declining at the modeled 25.3% annual rate and its high debt load pushes funding costs higher.
