Is SpartanNash still cheap?
Good news, investors! SpartanNash is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $26.75, but it is currently trading at US$13.50 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, SpartanNash’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
What does the future of SpartanNash look like?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 SpartanNash, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 5.4% in the next few years, 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 SPTN is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. 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 SPTN for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy SPTN. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
