Gimv has delivered a 53.7% return over the past three years, which puts fresh focus on whether the current share price lines up with the returns the business earns on its capital. For investors, the central issue is how that track record translates into a sustainable level of value creation that today’s valuation can support.

Is Gimv Still Cheap on Excess Returns?
The Excess Returns model looks at how much value Gimv adds over and above the return investors require on its equity. For Gimv, the framework is built on a Book Value of €57.20 per share and a Stable EPS of €5.95 per share, both anchored in median figures from the past five years. That earnings power compares with a Cost of Equity of €4.87 per share, which implies an Excess Return of €1.08 per share on an Average Return on Equity of 11.04%.
Those inputs describe a financier earning more on its equity base than the model assumes investors demand. A Stable Book Value of €53.90 per share feeds into the long term compounding story. Compared with a current share price of €49.00, the Excess Returns projections put Gimv’s estimated intrinsic value substantially above the current share price. This makes the detailed valuation worth a closer look for anyone testing how much of that excess profitability is already reflected.
