Have Investors Priced In Xilinx Inc’s (NASDAQ:XLNX) Growth?
Xilinx Inc (NASDAQ:XLNX) saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NasdaqGS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine Xilinx’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. See our latest analysis for Xilinx
What’s the opportunity in Xilinx?
Xilinx appears to be overvalued by 76% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at US$73.94 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of $42.07. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Given that Xilinx’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.
What does the future of Xilinx 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. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. Xilinx’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 55.50%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? XLNX’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 XLNX 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.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on XLNX for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for XLNX, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
