Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Redrow plc (LON:RDW)?

While Redrow plc (LON:RDW) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the LSE over the last few months, increasing to UK£5.85 at one point, and dropping to the lows of UK£3.73. 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 Redrow's current trading price of UK£3.97 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Redrow’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Redrow?

Good news, investors! Redrow is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £6.49, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Redrow’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 Redrow?

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. With profit expected to grow by 21% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Redrow. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since RDW is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase 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.
