Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine UnipolSai Assicurazioni SpA (BIT:US)?
UnipolSai Assicurazioni SpA (BIT:US), which is in the insurance business, and is based in Italy, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the BIT, rising to the highs of €2.14 and falling to the lows of €1.86. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether UnipolSai Assicurazioni’s current trading price of €2.01 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at UnipolSai Assicurazioni’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is UnipolSai Assicurazioni still cheap?
Good news, investors! UnipolSai Assicurazioni is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €2.79, but it is currently trading at €2.01 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that UnipolSai Assicurazioni’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 kind of growth will UnipolSai Assicurazioni generate?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company’s future expectations. Though in the case of UnipolSai Assicurazioni, it is expected to deliver a highly negative earnings growth in the next few years, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Although US is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to US, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on US for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
