Is Iren Still Cheap?

According to my valuation model, Iren seems to be fairly priced at around 0.92% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Iren today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €1.63, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. What's more, Iren’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

Can we expect growth from Iren?

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in IRE’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 confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on IRE, 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 diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
