Should You Think About Buying Finning International Inc. (TSE:FTT) Now?

While Finning International Inc. (TSE:FTT) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the TSX over the last few months, increasing to CA$34.32 at one point, and dropping to the lows of CA$30.32. 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 Finning International's current trading price of CA$31.54 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap?

What's the opportunity in Finning International?

According to my valuation model, Finning International seems to be fairly priced at around 4.77% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Finning International today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth CA$30.10, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Finning International’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
