Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Dottikon Es Holding AG (VTX:DESN)?

Dottikon Es Holding AG (VTX:DESN), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the SWX. As a CHF3.6b market-cap stock, it seems odd Dottikon Es Holding is not more well-covered by analysts. Although, there is more of an opportunity for mispricing in stocks with low coverage, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Dottikon Es Holding’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's The Opportunity In Dottikon Es Holding?

According to my valuation model, Dottikon Es Holding seems to be fairly priced at around 18% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Dottikon Es Holding today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth CHF318.86, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Dottikon Es Holding’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. 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.

What kind of growth will Dottikon Es Holding generate?

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. 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. In Dottikon Es Holding's case, its revenues over the next few years are expected to grow by 33%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in DESN’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value.
