When Should You Buy Rockwool A/S (CPH:ROCK B)?

Is Rockwool Still Cheap?

According to my valuation model, Rockwool seems to be fairly priced at around 13% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Rockwool today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth DKK2153.29, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. In addition to this, Rockwool has a low beta, which suggests its share price is less volatile than the wider market.

What kind of growth will Rockwool generate?

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. With profit expected to grow by 37% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Rockwool. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? ROCK B’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ROCK B, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
