See our latest analysis for CVC Capital Partners.
At a share price of €15.08, CVC Capital Partners has pulled back over the past day and week, yet its 30 day share price return of 4.6% and 90 day share price return of 15.6% contrast with a 1 year total shareholder return that is down 7.8%, suggesting recent momentum has picked up even as longer term holders are still behind.

After that rebound over the past quarter, yet a 1 year return that is still down, CVC Capital Partners asks a simple question: Does the current valuation still leave enough upside to justify the risks from here?
Most Popular Narrative: 11.5% Undervalued
On the most followed narrative, CVC Capital Partners screens as undervalued, with a fair value of €17.04 set against the current share price of €15.08.
The activation of Europe/Americas Fund IX and Asia VI, as well as strong fundraising efforts, suggest robust fee-generating potential in the near future. This is expected to support management fee revenues and more predictable earnings. Strategic expansion into Private Wealth and insurance, with initiatives like CVC-CRED and CVC-PE, highlights a focus on long-term revenue growth and diversification of fee income sources.
Want to see what sits behind that premium view on CVC Capital Partners? The narrative leans on steady revenue compounding, firm margins and a richer earnings multiple that needs careful unpacking.
Result: Fair Value of €17.04 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, the story for CVC Capital Partners also depends on risks such as slower fundraising and tougher exits if deal markets or buyer demand weaken from this point.

Another view on CVC Capital Partners valuation
The earlier narrative suggests CVC Capital Partners is 11.5% undervalued, yet the current P/E of 16.3x tells a different story. It is higher than the European capital markets industry at 13.8x, although below the Dutch market at 18.3x and below a fair ratio of 17.7x.
That combination points to a stock that is cheaper than peers on some measures but not obviously cheap across the board. The question for you is whether this gap reflects a reasonable quality premium or valuation risk if sentiment cools from here.
