  • BASF Shares Seen Undervalued Despite Recent Decline, DCF Model Shows
    March 22, 2026, 5:31 AM EDT. BASF's share price dropped roughly 5% in the past week and month, with a 4% decline over the past year. Despite this, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis estimates BASF's intrinsic value at about €110.27 versus its current €46 share price, indicating a potential undervaluation of 58%. The DCF model projects free cash flow growth from €630 million recently to €3.9 billion by 2030. However, BASF scores only 2 out of 6 in valuation checks, reflecting mixed signals amid cyclical sector risks. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.04, balancing growth prospects against market uncertainty. Investors weigh BASF's diversification and size against short-term weakness, prompting debate on its true value in the chemicals sector.
