What is Generac Holdings worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 8.0% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Generac Holdings today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $231.00, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Generac Holdings’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
