Maire has returned very large gains of 336.7% over the past 5 years, which naturally raises the question of whether the current price around €12.55 is still grounded in the cash the business can generate. Recent contract wins and technology deals keep the story moving, but the real issue for you is how those flow through to future cash flows rather than just headlines.
-
The 336.7% 5 year share price gain puts a lot of expectations into Maire's valuation and makes the link between its cash generation and current market value especially important to scrutinise.
-
New agreements in LNG engineering, low carbon fertilisers and AI supported project execution can influence future cash flows by shaping the timing, size and risk profile of Maire's project pipeline.

If you'd rather focus on earnings, this one's for you. See why Maire's 15.1x P/E tells a different valuation story .
The issue now is whether the cash flows implied by Maire's Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate are enough to justify where the share price trades today.

Where Does Maire Sit on Cash Flow?
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here takes Maire's future free cash flows in €, then discounts them back to today to estimate what those streams could be worth in present terms. On the cash side, the latest twelve month free cash flow is about €432.4 million, and the projections assume that free cash flow continues growing rather than shrinking.
Those cash flow estimates trend higher through the next decade, which reflects a business that already generates meaningful free cash and is projected to scale projects in LNG, low carbon fertilisers and related technology solutions. Despite the recent Argent LNG FEED contract adding another potential project to the pipeline, the DCF projections put Maire's estimated intrinsic value broadly in line with the current share price around €12.55.

Rather than a single multiple or model output, each Narrative lays out the key assumptions behind its idea of fair value so you can later compare those expectations with Maire's actual results as they are reported.
