What Is Fincantieri S.p.A.'s (BIT:FCT) Share Price Doing?

Fincantieri S.p.A. (BIT:FCT), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the BIT over the last few months. With many analysts covering the 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 Fincantieri’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Fincantieri still cheap?

Great news for investors – Fincantieri is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €0.79, but it is currently trading at €0.55 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Fincantieri’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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.

Can we expect growth from Fincantieri?

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 79% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Fincantieri. 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? Since FCT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. 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 FCT for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy FCT. 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.
