What Is Rockwool A/S's (CPH:ROCK B) Share Price Doing?

Rockwool A/S (CPH:ROCK B), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a decent share price growth of 19% on the CPSE over the last few months. While good news for shareholders, the company has traded much higher in the past year. As a mid-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Rockwool’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Rockwool Still Cheap?

According to our valuation model, Rockwool seems to be fairly priced at around 1.69% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Rockwool today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth DKK291.48, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Rockwool’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 does the future of Rockwool look like?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Though in the case of Rockwool, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 5.7%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.

What This Means For You
