What's the opportunity in Fresenius Medical Care KGaA?

Good news, investors! Fresenius Medical Care KGaA is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €98.34, but it is currently trading at €65.96 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Fresenius Medical Care KGaA’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

Can we expect growth from Fresenius Medical Care KGaA?

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since FME is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
