What's the opportunity in Haynes Publishing Group?

Great news for investors – Haynes Publishing Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is £2.66, but it is currently trading at UK£1.99 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Haynes Publishing Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What does the future of Haynes Publishing Group look like?

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. Though in the case of Haynes Publishing Group, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 3.7% in the next few years, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since HYNS is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
