Is Corporate Travel Management Still Cheap?

Good news, investors! Corporate Travel Management is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is A$28.12, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Corporate Travel Management’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
