Should You Investigate The Weir Group PLC (LON:WEIR) At UK£14.85?

While The Weir Group PLC (LON:WEIR) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the LSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price.

What's The Opportunity In Weir Group?

Great news for investors – Weir Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is £20.79, but it is currently trading at UK£14.85 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Weir Group’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 Weir Group look like?

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since WEIR is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock.
