At US$43.46, Is It Time To Put National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ) On Your Watch List?

National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$52.80 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$43.27. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy?

Is National Beverage still cheap?

Good news, investors! National Beverage is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $65.74, but it is currently trading at US$43.46 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because National Beverage’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.

Can we expect growth from National Beverage?

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. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 14% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for National Beverage. 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? Since FIZZ is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. 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 FIZZ for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy FIZZ. 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 investment decision.
