Fair value estimate
How the range is computed
Financials model (residual income). Same residual-income model as the base: cost of equity 9.5% ±1 point and return on equity 13.1% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 11.1%; bull = 8.5% and 15.1%. A model estimate from public filings, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Price sits inside the range.
What the price implies To be worth today’s price, SAN would need a return on equity of about 12% a year; our estimate uses 13%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 30 to Oct 30, 252 sessions). Beta = how much SAN moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Swings much more than the market, and its own price swings are 2.7× the S&P 500’s.

Valuation details
DCF $12.49
Financials model (residual income): book value $8.17 a share on Jun 30, 2026 (preferred stock excluded), converted from EUR at 1.123, plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity. ROE 13.1%, the average of 14.9% for the trailing 12 months to Jun 30, 2026 and 11.3% over fiscal 2021–2025, on average common equity; payout 22% of earnings (dividends 22%), so book grows by the retained rest; the return above 9.5% fades halfway toward 9.5% over 10 years, then grows at 3% (terminal value). From the 6-K filed Jul 24, 2026.
