Is CellaVision Still Cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 4.4% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy CellaVision today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth SEK259.45, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because CellaVision’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
