Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Genting Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:GENM)?

While Genting Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:GENM) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the KLSE. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Genting Malaysia Berhad’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Genting Malaysia Berhad still cheap?

Great news for investors – Genting Malaysia Berhad is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is MYR3.94, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Genting Malaysia Berhad’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What does the future of Genting Malaysia Berhad look like?

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. In Genting Malaysia Berhad's case, its revenues over the next couple of years are expected to double, indicating an incredibly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since GENM is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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 GENM for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy GENM. 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 investment decision.
