What is Ted Baker worth?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 68%, trading at UK£30.54 compared to my intrinsic value of £18.2. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. Another thing to keep in mind is that Ted Baker’s share price is quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

LSE:TED Future Profit Feb 9th 18
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. With profit expected to grow by 35.16% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Ted Baker. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in TED’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe TED should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on TED for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for TED, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
