What Is HeidelbergCement AG's (ETR:HEI) Share Price Doing?

HeidelbergCement AG (ETR:HEI) saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the XTRA. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine HeidelbergCement’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is HeidelbergCement worth?

Great news for investors – HeidelbergCement is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €111.71, 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, HeidelbergCement’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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.

What does the future of HeidelbergCement look like?

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. HeidelbergCement’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 60%, 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 HEI 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.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on HEI for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy HEI. 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.
