What Is LS Corp.'s (KRX:006260) Share Price Doing?

LS Corp. (KRX:006260), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the KOSE 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 examine LS’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is LS still cheap?

According to my valuation model, LS seems to be fairly priced at around 8.3% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy LS today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is ₩73292.03, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because LS’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.

Can we expect growth from LS?

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. 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. LS' earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? A006260’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. 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 tabs on A006260, 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 further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
