While Hillman Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ:HLMN) might not have the largest market cap around , it led the NASDAQGM gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Hillman Solutions’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Hillman Solutions Still Cheap?

Great news for investors – Hillman Solutions is still trading at a fairly cheap price. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $14.59, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Hillman Solutions’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 does the future of Hillman Solutions 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. 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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 8.9% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Hillman Solutions, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since HLMN is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. 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 HLMN for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy HLMN. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
