Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:DFIN)?

Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:DFIN), which is in the capital markets business, and is based in United States, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NYSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Donnelley Financial Solutions’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's the opportunity in Donnelley Financial Solutions?

Great news for investors – Donnelley Financial Solutions is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $19.65, 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 Donnelley Financial Solutions’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.

What kind of growth will Donnelley Financial Solutions generate?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Donnelley Financial Solutions, at least in the near future.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although DFIN is currently undervalued, the negative outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to DFIN, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on DFIN for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you dig deeper into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
