Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:HOLI), which is in the electronic business, and is based in China, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the 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? Let’s examine Hollysys Automation Technologies’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What’s the opportunity in Hollysys Automation Technologies?
Good news, investors! Hollysys Automation Technologies is still a bargain right now. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 8.08x is currently well-below the industry average of 20.79x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. However, given that Hollysys Automation Technologies’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 Hollysys Automation Technologies generate?
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 35% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Hollysys Automation Technologies. 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 HOLI 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 HOLI for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy HOLI. 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 investment decision.
