What’s the opportunity in CSG Systems International?
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 14% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy CSG Systems International today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $56.7, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since CSG Systems International’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
Can we expect growth from CSG Systems International?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 16% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for CSG Systems International. 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? CSGS’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value.
