Mips (OM:MIPS) has drawn fresh attention after reporting third quarter and nine month 2026 figures, with sales and net income for both periods higher than the same stages a year earlier.
Mips shares have reacted positively to the fresh earnings figures, with a 1-day share price return of 2.40% and a 7-day gain of 5.08%. However, the 90-day share price return is down 3.80%, while the 1-year total shareholder return sits at 19.46%, pointing to momentum that has been rebuilding over the course of 2026, even after a much weaker 5-year total shareholder return of 61.08%.

Another View on Mips: Expensive On Earnings
The DCF work presents Mips as undervalued, yet the earnings multiple tells a very different story. The stock trades on a P/E of 63.5x, compared with 16.4x for the wider European leisure group and a 57x peer average, while the fair ratio points closer to 45.1x.
That gap suggests investors are already paying a rich premium for growth, which may leave less room if expectations or sentiment cool. Which lens do you trust more when the cash flow model and the market multiple point in different directions?
