What Is Alfen Worth?

Great news for investors – Alfen is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €48.89, but it is currently trading at €33.11 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Alfen’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

Can we expect growth from Alfen?

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. Alfen's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 92%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
