When Should You Buy Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:NSIT)?

Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:NSIT), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth of 18% on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. The company is now trading at yearly-high levels following the recent surge in its share price. 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, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Insight Enterprises’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is Insight Enterprises Worth?

The stock is currently trading at US$205 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 21% compared to our intrinsic value of $169.18. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Insight Enterprises’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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.

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. With profit expected to grow by 22% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Insight Enterprises. 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? NSIT’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe NSIT should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on NSIT for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for NSIT, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
