What Is Deutsche Post AG's (ETR:DPW) Share Price Doing?

Let's talk about the popular Deutsche Post AG (ETR:DPW). The company's shares received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the XTRA over the last few months, increasing to €34.91 at one point, and dropping to the lows of €31.47. 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 Deutsche Post's current trading price of €32.29 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Deutsche Post’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Deutsche Post still cheap?

Great news for investors – Deutsche Post is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €56.69, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Deutsche Post’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from Deutsche Post?

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. 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. Deutsche Post’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 32%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since DPW 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.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on DPW 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 DPW. 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.
