What's The Opportunity In Kelsian Group?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 17.73% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Kelsian Group today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is A$6.06, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Kelsian Group’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Kelsian Group generate?

Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations.
