At €91.65, Is It Time To Put Acciona, S.A. (BME:ANA) On Your Watch List?
Acciona, S.A. (BME:ANA), which is in the electric utilities business, and is based in Spain, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the BME over the last few months, increasing to €99.45 at one point, and dropping to the lows of €90.30. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

What's the opportunity in Acciona?
Great news for investors – Acciona is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €162.16, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, Acciona’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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.
What kind of growth will Acciona generate?
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. Though in the case of Acciona, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 4.2%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since ANA is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. 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 ANA for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy ANA. 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 buy.
