Is It Time To Consider Buying Taylor Wimpey plc (LON:TW.)?

Taylor Wimpey plc (LON:TW.), which is in the consumer durables business, and is based in United Kingdom, saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the LSE. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s take a look at Taylor Wimpey’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is Taylor Wimpey worth?

Good news, investors! Taylor Wimpey is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £3.51, but it is currently trading at UK£1.96 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Taylor Wimpey’s share price is theoretically quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to move to its intrinsic value, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

What kind of growth will Taylor Wimpey generate?

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 Taylor Wimpey, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 5.1%, 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 TW. 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.

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