What Does Neoenergia S.A.'s (BVMF:NEOE3) Share Price Indicate?

Neoenergia S.A. (BVMF:NEOE3), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the BOVESPA. 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, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s take a look at Neoenergia’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Neoenergia still cheap?

Great news for investors – Neoenergia is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is R$28.19, but it is currently trading at R$18.48 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Neoenergia’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What does the future of Neoenergia look like?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 5.4% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Neoenergia, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since NEOE3 is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on NEOE3 for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy NEOE3. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
