Is CBRE Group Still Cheap?
Great news for investors – CBRE Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $141.44, but it is currently trading at US$88.76 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 CBRE Group’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 CBRE Group?
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 -17% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for CBRE Group. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? Although CBRE is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to CBRE, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on CBRE for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you dig deeper into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
