When Should You Buy DSV A/S (CPH:DSV)?

Let's talk about the popular DSV A/S (CPH:DSV). The company's shares saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the CPSE. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at DSV’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is DSV Worth?

Great news for investors – DSV is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is DKK1521.90, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that DSV’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will DSV generate?

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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 0.7% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for DSV, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since DSV is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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 DSV 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 DSV. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
