What is Johnson Outdoors worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 8.1% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Johnson Outdoors today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $104.25, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. What's more, Johnson Outdoors’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

What kind of growth will Johnson Outdoors generate?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 19% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Johnson Outdoors. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in JOUT’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on JOUT, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
