Is Geberit Still Cheap?

The stock is currently trading at CHF523 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 40% compared to our intrinsic value of CHF374.29. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! Another thing to keep in mind is that Geberit’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.

Can we expect growth from Geberit?

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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 7.6% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Geberit, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in GEBN’s future outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe GEBN 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 tabs on GEBN for some time, 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 means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
