What is Palfinger worth?

Great news for investors – Palfinger is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €36.45, but it is currently trading at €25.90 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Palfinger’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
