While Pkp Cargo S.A. (WSE:PKP) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the WSE 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, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Pkp Cargo’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Pkp Cargo still cheap?

Great news for investors – Pkp Cargo is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is PLN22.45, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, Pkp Cargo’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.

What kind of growth will Pkp Cargo generate?

WSE:PKP Earnings and Revenue Growth January 15th 2021

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. In the upcoming year, Pkp Cargo's earnings are expected to increase by 46%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since PKP is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on PKP for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy PKP. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
