Let's review some notable picks from our screened stocks.
Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS
Overview: Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS is a private equity firm focused on infrastructure investments, with a market capitalization of approximately €2.25 billion.
Operations: The firm generates revenue primarily through its asset management segment, amounting to €282.87 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 17.7%
Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS, priced at €12.56, trades 17.7% below our estimated fair value of €15.25, reflecting a modest undervaluation based on cash flows. Despite recent dividend increases to €0.71 per share, the payout is not well supported by earnings or free cash flows, indicating potential sustainability issues. Earnings growth is robust, projected at 25.2% annually over the next three years—outpacing the French market's average—though shareholder dilution has occurred within the last year.
Edenred
Overview: Edenred SE operates a global digital platform offering services and payments solutions for companies, employees, and merchants, with a market capitalization of approximately €10.28 billion.
Operations: The company generates its revenue primarily from Business Services, which accounted for €2.31 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 13.5%
Edenred, valued at €41.29, is considered undervalued with a fair value estimate of €47.71, reflecting a modest potential for price appreciation. The company is expected to see significant earnings growth at 20.15% annually over the next three years, surpassing the French market's forecast of 10.9%. However, it carries a high level of debt and its dividend coverage by earnings is weak. Additionally, while revenue growth projections are strong relative to the market, they do not exceed 20% annually.
The growth report we've compiled suggests that Edenred's future prospects could be on the up.

Tikehau Capital
Overview: Tikehau Capital is a private equity and venture capital firm that offers a variety of financing products such as senior secured loans, equity, and mezzanine; it has a market capitalization of approximately €4.00 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue through two main segments: Investment Activities, which brought in €179.19 million, and Asset Management Activities, contributing €322.32 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 28.8%
Tikehau Capital, priced at €23.15, trades below its calculated fair value of €32.5, indicating a potential undervaluation. Despite a decline in net profit margins from 53.2% to 35.2%, the company's revenue and earnings are expected to grow by 20.1% and 31.3% annually, respectively—both rates exceeding market averages significantly. However, its dividends are poorly covered by free cash flows, and forecasted Return on Equity is low at 12.6%. Recent strategic partnership with Nikko Asset Management could bolster its investment capabilities in Asia.
