Supporting context

This section explains the evidence and judgment used to support the recommendation and the legal, brand and financial assumptions used in the valuation.

Reference case

Vestas

Prepared reference case

Indicative upper-exposure value of the Vestas corporate name across global wind-turbine sales and service. It does not value turbine designs, project execution, manufacturing assets, service contracts, the installed fleet, customer relationships or the enterprise.

Updated 27 October 2026: The case-specific ceiling changes from 0.75% to 1.85% and selected royalty from 0.5625% to 1.3875%; the indicative value changes from EUR 1.19bn to about EUR 2.94bn. The 1.85% ceiling stays below the 2.00% industrial ceiling so the opening hypothetical rent of EUR 261.2m remains at 24.5% of EUR 1.067bn FY2025 group EBIT before special items. This is a directional 25%-of-profit capacity screen, not proof of trademark rent. Group sales are an upper-exposure proxy, not pure name-generated revenue. Power Solutions includes EPC/turnkey execution, while Service includes multibrand service contracts that management is exiting or renegotiating; the annual report does not disclose their 2025 revenue separately. The selected royalty is an analyst estimate, not an observed licence. Forecast year 1 uses EUR 21bn, the midpoint of management's EUR 20-22bn 2026 group revenue guidance; later 3% growth is an analyst scenario. The 10.00% discount rate is not the same measure as the company's 12.5% pre-tax goodwill-impairment rate. Service customer NPS 44 refers to that business only and does not validate the full BSI. Legal scores are outside-in judgments, not a title opinion.
Informed by numerous sources including company reporting, investor materials, analyst research, market data and selected benchmark references where relevant.
