Why Leon’s Furniture Limited (TSX:LNF) Could Be A Buy

Leon's Furniture Limited (TSX:LNF), a retailing company based in Canada, See our latest analysis for LNF

What's the opportunity in LNF?

Great news for investors – LNF is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the stock’s value should be $27.09 but it is currently trading at $17.79 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Another thing to keep in mind is that LNF’s share price is quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

Can we expect growth from LNF?

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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 7.23% expected over the next year, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for LNF, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since LNF 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 LNF 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 LNF. 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.
