While Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap ASA (OB:OLT) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the OB over the last few months, increasing to kr212 at one point, and dropping to the lows of kr180. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap's current trading price of kr188 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's the opportunity in Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap?
The stock is currently trading at kr188 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 27% compared to my intrinsic value of NOK147.83. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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.
What does the future of Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap 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. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap, at least in the near future.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? If you believe OLT is currently trading above its value, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. Given the risk from a negative growth outlook, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on OLT for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. Price climbed passed its true value, in addition to a risky future outlook. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management. Should the price fall in the future, will you be well-informed enough to buy?
