Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Südzucker AG (FRA:SZU)?

Südzucker AG (FRA:SZU), which is in the food business, and is based in Germany, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the DB over the last few months, increasing to €14.95 at one point, and dropping to the lows of €11.48. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether Südzucker’s current trading price of €11.52 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 Südzucker’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Südzucker worth?

Great news for investors – Südzucker is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €18.79, but it is currently trading at €11.52 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Südzucker’s share price is 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 Südzucker generate?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 20.5% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Südzucker. 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 SZU is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
