Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Deutsche Post AG (ETR:DPW)?

Deutsche Post AG (ETR:DPW) led the XTRA gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine Deutsche Post’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Deutsche Post still cheap?

Great news for investors – Deutsche Post is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €50.68, but it is currently trading at €30.12 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Deutsche Post’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.

Can we expect growth from Deutsche Post?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. Deutsche Post’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 54%, 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 DPW is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

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.
