Value-focused investors are always on the hunt for stocks that are priced below their intrinsic value. One such stock that merits attention is Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste SAB de CV (NYSE:ASR). The stock, which is currently priced at 245.71, recorded a loss of 4.31% in a day and a 3-month decrease of 11.19%. The stock's fair valuation is $322.08, as indicated by its GF Value.
Understanding GF Value
The GF Value represents the current intrinsic value of a stock derived from our exclusive method. The GF Value Line on our summary page gives an overview of the fair value that the stock should be traded at. It is calculated based on three factors:
1. Historical multiples (PE Ratio, PS Ratio, PB Ratio and Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow) that the stock has traded at.
2. GuruFocus adjustment factor based on the company's past returns and growth.
3. Future estimates of the business performance.
We believe the GF Value Line is the fair value that the stock should be traded at. The stock price will most likely fluctuate around the GF Value Line. If the stock price is significantly above the GF Value Line, it is overvalued and its future return is likely to be poor. On the other hand, if it is significantly below the GF Value Line, its future return will likely be higher.
The Potential Value Trap

Despite its seemingly attractive valuation, certain risk factors associated with Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste SAB de CV should not be ignored. These risks are primarily reflected through its low Piotroski F-score and Altman Z-score. These indicators suggest that Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste SAB de CV, despite its apparent undervaluation, might be a potential value trap. This complexity underlines the importance of thorough due diligence in investment decision-making.
