What's the opportunity in Aena S.M.E?

According to my valuation model, Aena S.M.E seems to be fairly priced at around 2.7% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Aena S.M.E today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is €138.74, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Aena S.M.E’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 Aena S.M.E generate?

In Aena S.M.E's case, its revenues over the next couple of years are expected to double, indicating an incredibly 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 AENA’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. 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 tabs on AENA, now may not be the most optimal 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.
