The thesis, in brief
Element's 19.6% adjusted return on equity is worth about 2.95x book and CAD 27.54, only 4.5% above spot, so the shares are fairly priced rather than cheap; we are wrong if H2 2026 originations reach the USD 3.3bn needed for guidance and services growth holds at 8%, taking FY2027 adjusted EPS above USD 1.60
How we value it
We value Element Fleet Management using FCFE DCF, 9.24% USD cost of equity, 2.5% terminal g; P/E and P/B cross-checks. The 12-month fair value is set from that intrinsic estimate first, then compared to the market to read the upside or downside — never anchored to the current price.
