Is Avaya Holdings still cheap?

Good news, investors! Avaya Holdings is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $19.27, but it is currently trading at US$12.69 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 Avaya Holdings’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.

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. Avaya Holdings’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 98%, 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? Since AVYA is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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 capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on AVYA for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy AVYA. 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.
