Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Springer Nature AG & Co. KGaA trades at $11.44, which is 40% below the $16.07 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a valuation model is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.
Our moat model scores it 62 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 6.1 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Common questions
Is Springer Nature AG & Co. KGaA (SPGNY) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $16.07, SPGNY at $11.44 is 40% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
What is SPGNY's P/E ratio?
SPGNY trades at 6.1 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Springer Nature AG & Co. KGaA (SPGNY) pay a dividend?
Yes. Springer Nature AG & Co. KGaA yields 4.21% at the current share price. It has paid $0.482 per share over the trailing twelve months. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
