What is Bright Scholar Education Holdings worth?

Good news, investors! Bright Scholar Education Holdings is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $20.3, but it is currently trading at US$10.28 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Bright Scholar Education Holdings’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 this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since BEDU is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on BEDU 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 BEDU. 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.
