What is Callaway Golf worth?

Callaway Golf appears to be overvalued by 36.96% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at US$16.30 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of $11.9. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that Callaway Golf’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 Callaway Golf 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. However, with a negative profit growth of -4.6% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Callaway Golf. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? If you believe ELY 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. Given the uncertainty from negative growth in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. 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 ELY for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. Its price has risen beyond its true value, on top of a negative future outlook. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Should the price fall in the future, will you be well-informed enough to buy?
