Is It Time To Consider Buying Broadwind Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWEN)?

In this article:

Broadwind Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWEN), which is in the electrical business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQCM over the last few months. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s take a look at Broadwind Energy’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is Broadwind Energy worth?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 36%, trading at US$1.63 compared to my intrinsic value of $1.20. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Since Broadwind Energy’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest.

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. 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. With revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 12% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Broadwind Energy. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? BWEN’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe BWEN should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on BWEN for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for BWEN, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
