AAK AB (publ.) (STO:AAK), which is in the food business, and is based in Sweden, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the OM over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine AAK AB (publ.)’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.
Check out our latest analysis for AAK AB (publ.)
What's the opportunity in AAK AB (publ.)?
AAK AB (publ.) appears to be overvalued by 24% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at kr158 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of SEK127.56. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! Another thing to keep in mind is that AAK AB (publ.)’s share price is quite stable relative to the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.
What kind of growth will AAK AB (publ.) generate?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. AAK AB (publ.)’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 32%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in AAK’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe AAK should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on AAK for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for AAK, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
