Why H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT) Could Be Worth Watching

Let's talk about the popular H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT). The company's shares saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. With many analysts covering the large-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 examine H World Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is H World Group worth?

Great news for investors – H World Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $66.51, but it is currently trading at US$40.00 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, H World Group’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What kind of growth will H World Group 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. In H World Group's case, its revenues over the next few years are expected to grow by 47%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since HTHT 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.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on HTHT for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy HTHT. 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.
