View out our latest analysis for Axalta Coating Systems

What is Axalta Coating Systems worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 1.56% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Axalta Coating Systems today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $30.04, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Axalta Coating Systems’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
