What's The Opportunity In American Woodmark?

Good news, investors! American Woodmark is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $68.57, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, American Woodmark’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

Can we expect growth from American Woodmark?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 7.4% expected in the upcoming year, short term growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for American Woodmark.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since AMWD is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on AMWD for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy AMWD. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
