What's the opportunity in Signature Bank?

Good news, investors! Signature Bank is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $149.82, but it is currently trading at US$117 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 Signature Bank’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.

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 Signature Bank, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 6.3%, 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 SBNY is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. 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 SBNY 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 SBNY. 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.
