What’s the opportunity in Galaxy Entertainment Group?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 78%, trading at HK$66.70 compared to my intrinsic value of HK$37.47. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that Galaxy Entertainment Group’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.

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.

With profit expected to grow by 58.68% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Galaxy Entertainment Group. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? 27’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe 27 should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
