Is There Now An Opportunity In MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:MX)?
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:MX), which is in the semiconductor business, and is based in Luxembourg, led the NYSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s take a look at MagnaChip Semiconductor’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's the opportunity in MagnaChip Semiconductor?
Good news, investors! MagnaChip Semiconductor is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $19.53, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that MagnaChip Semiconductor’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 MagnaChip Semiconductor generate?
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. 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 MagnaChip Semiconductor, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 6.3% in the next few years, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since MX is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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 MX 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 MX. 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 buy.
