Is Container Store Group Still Cheap?
Container Store Group appears to be overvalued by 28% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at US$2.68 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of $2.09. 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 Container Store Group’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. 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 kind of growth will Container Store Group generate?
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. However, with an expected decline of -3.1% in revenues over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Container Store Group. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? If you believe TCS is currently trading above its value, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. Given the risk from a negative growth outlook, this could be the right time to reduce your total portfolio risk. 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 an eye on TCS for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. Its price has risen beyond its true value, on top of a negative future outlook. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Should the price fall in the future, will you be well-informed enough to buy?
So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. For example, Container Store Group has 2 warning signs (and 1 which makes us a bit uncomfortable) we think you should know about.
