Newly Overvalued Stocks as of April 15

The Morningstar Europe Index fell 6.50% over the past month, leaving the overall European stock market moderately undervalued, hovering at a 10% discount to its fair value estimate on a cap-weighted basis.

Of the 296 Europe-listed stocks covered by Morningstar analysts:

  • 62% are undervalued, 26% are fairly valued, and 12% are overvalued.
  • Five are newly overvalued.
  • 59 are newly undervalued.
  • One moved from a 2-star rating to a 1-star rating.
  • Among the newly overvalued stocks, none jumped from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating.
  • 24 are no longer overvalued.

Morningstar analysts assign every stock under their coverage a fair value estimate, which is an intrinsic measure of the stock’s worth, and an Uncertainty Rating, which captures the range of potential outcomes for that estimate. A higher Uncertainty Rating equates to a larger range of prices considered fairly valued.

These two metrics and the stock’s current price, are used to determine its Morningstar Rating.
