What is HRTX worth?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 53%, trading at $16.6 compared to my intrinsic value of $7.72. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that HRTX’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.
