What is Element Fleet Management worth?
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 Element Fleet Management today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is CA$11.26, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. What's more, Element Fleet Management’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.
What does the future of Element Fleet Management look like?
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. 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 relatively muted revenue growth of 8.6% expected in the upcoming year, short term growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Element Fleet Management.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? EFN’s future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on EFN, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
