What Does Nutanix, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:NTNX) Share Price Indicate?

Nutanix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTNX), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. As a mid-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Nutanix’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is Nutanix Worth?

According to my valuation model, Nutanix seems to be fairly priced at around 12% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Nutanix today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $33.40, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Nutanix’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.

Can we expect growth from Nutanix?

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 47% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Nutanix. 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? NTNX’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
