Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROCK)?

Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROCK), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$76.39 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$66.00. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Gibraltar Industries' current trading price of US$71.74 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Gibraltar Industries’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Gibraltar Industries worth?

Great news for investors – Gibraltar Industries is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $116.72, but it is currently trading at US$71.74 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Gibraltar Industries’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from Gibraltar Industries?

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. 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. In the upcoming year, Gibraltar Industries' earnings are expected to increase by 39%, 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 ROCK 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.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ROCK for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy ROCK. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
