While good news for shareholders, the company has traded much higher in the past year. As a mid-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine Seiko Epson’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Seiko Epson Still Cheap?
Good news, investors! Seiko Epson is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is ¥3746.54, but it is currently trading at JP¥2,515 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Seiko Epson’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
What does the future of Seiko Epson look like?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. With profit expected to grow by 45% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Seiko Epson. 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 6724 is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on 6724 for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy 6724. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
