What is H & M Hennes & Mauritz worth?

Good news, investors! H & M Hennes & Mauritz is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is SEK292.41, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, H & M Hennes & Mauritz’s share price is theoretically quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to move to its intrinsic value, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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.

This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since HM B is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase 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 capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
