Some Investors May Be Willing To Look Past 1&1's (ETR:1U1) Soft Earnings
Shareholders appeared unconcerned with 1&1 AG's (ETR:1U1) lackluster earnings report last week. Our analysis suggests that while the profits are soft, the foundations of the business are strong. Our free stock report includes 2 warning signs investors should be aware of before investing in 1&1. Read for free now. Importantly, our data indicates that 1&1's profit was reduced by €281m, due to unusual items, over the last year. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. In the twelve months to March 2025, 1&1 had a big unusual items expense. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items made its statutory profit significantly weaker than it would otherwise be. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. As we mentioned previously, the 1&1's profit was hampered by unusual items in the last year. Because of this, we think 1&1's underlying earnings potential is as good as, or possibly even better, than the statutory profit makes it seem! Unfortunately, though, its earnings per share actually fell back over the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. In light of this, if you'd like to do more analysis on the company, it's vital to be informed of the risks involved.

The three-year loss for 1&1 (ETR:1U1) shareholders likely driven by its shrinking earnings
1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 12% in the last month. But that cannot eclipse the less-than-impressive returns over the last three years. In fact, the share price is down 41% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return. While the stock has risen 7.3% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us. View our latest analysis for 1&1 There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. 1&1 saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 3.0% per year, over the last three years. This reduction in EPS is slower than the 16% annual reduction in the share price. So it's likely that the EPS decline has disappointed the market, leaving investors hesitant to buy. This increased caution is also evident in the rather low P/E ratio, which is sitting at 8.67. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). This free interactive report on 1&1's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further. 1&1 shareholders are down 25% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 18%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 6% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand 1&1 better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for 1&1 that you should be aware of. If you like to buy stocks alongside management, then you might just love this free list of companies.
