SDI Corporation (TWSE:2351), might not be a large cap stock, but it led the TWSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. Shareholders may appreciate the recent price jump, but the company still has a way to go before reaching its yearly highs again. As a stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today we will analyse the most recent data on SDI’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is SDI Worth?
SDI appears to be overvalued by 29% at the moment, based on our discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at NT$128 on the market compared to our intrinsic value of NT$99.04. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that SDI’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What kind of growth will SDI generate?
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. SDI's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 88%, 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? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in 2351’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe 2351 should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. 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 tabs on 2351 for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for 2351, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
