Should You Investigate Nova Ltd. (NASDAQ:NVMI) At US$116?

Nova Ltd. (NASDAQ:NVMI), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Nova’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Nova still cheap?

Good news, investors! Nova is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $163.58, but it is currently trading at US$116 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Nova’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.

Can we expect growth from Nova?

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 37% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Nova. 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 NVMI is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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 NVMI for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy NVMI. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed buy.
