I’ve been keeping an eye on Aegon N.V. (AMS:AGN) because I’m attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe AGN has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a dependable dividend payer that has been a rockstar for income investors, currently trading at an attractive share price. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Aegon here.
6 star dividend payer and undervalued
AGN is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of AGN’s earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the insurance industry, AGN is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that AGN’s price is currently discounted.
Income investors would also be happy to know that AGN is one of the highest dividend payers in the market, with current dividend yield standing at 6.7%. AGN has also been regularly increasing its dividend payments to shareholders over the past decade.
