Is Standex International still cheap?

Good news, investors! Standex International is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $97.35, but it is currently trading at US$73.14 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Standex International’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since SXI is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

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