What's The Opportunity In Zignago Vetro?

Good news, investors! Zignago Vetro is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €18.95, but it is currently trading at €11.74 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Another thing to keep in mind is that Zignago Vetro’s share price may be 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.

What does the future of Zignago Vetro look like?

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. However, with a negative profit growth of -18% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Zignago Vetro. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What This Means For You
