What the Analysts think about SOF
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Sofina Société Anonyme stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Sofina Société Anonyme stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Net asset value per share rose 6.8% to €326.48 in the first half of 2026, and Sofina returned to a substantial reported profit after a loss a year earlier. The rise shows the portfolio has regained momentum, although much of the gain came from investment revaluations. (Sofina)
Sofina’s private-funds portfolio created 13% of value excluding currency effects in the first half, giving investors exposure through leading venture and growth managers to companies such as SpaceX, Stripe and Anthropic. Sofina also increased investment activity, with €733 million deployed in the period. (Sofina)
The shares were reported trading at a discount of at least 23% to estimated net asset value in September, which could offer upside if portfolio valuations hold and the gap narrows. Test Achats argued the discount was excessive despite difficult conditions for private equity. (Test Achats)
The direct portfolio contributed little to the first-half recovery: Sofina said mature companies faced a tougher macroeconomic backdrop, with pressure on valuation multiples and affordability weighing on some holdings. This could limit returns even if portfolio companies continue to grow. (Stock Analysis)
Most of Sofina’s portfolio is unlisted, so its reported value is harder to verify and assets can take longer to sell; Sofina says liquidity risk can affect both holding periods and exit prices. Test Achats also reported that more than a third of its holdings had been held for over eight years and that proceeds from exits had fallen 38%. (Sofina, Test Achats)
The largest holding, ByteDance, represents between 5% and 10% of the portfolio, and Sofina says it has no control over when the investment vehicle can sell. Meanwhile, look-through fund valuations rely on managers’ reports that can be months old, leaving scope for reported NAV to lag changing conditions. (Stock Analysis, Sofina)
