Good value with proven track record
PATK delivered a bottom-line expansion of 71% in the prior year, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did PATK outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Building industry expansion, which generated a 25% earnings growth. This is what investors like to see! PATK’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if PATK’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, PATK’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This bolsters the proposition that PATK’s price is currently discounted.
