Bunge Limited (NYSE:BG), which is in the food business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to $53.76 at one point, and dropping to the lows of $48.6. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Bunge's current trading price of $50.62 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Bunge’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Bunge worth?

Great news for investors – Bunge is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $93.48, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Bunge’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What kind of growth will Bunge generate?

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.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since BG is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on BG for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy BG. 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.
