Is There Now An Opportunity In Finning International Inc. (TSE:FTT)?

While Finning International Inc. (TSE:FTT) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the TSX. 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 examine Finning International’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Check out our latest analysis for Finning International

What's The Opportunity In Finning International?

According to my valuation model, Finning International seems to be fairly priced at around 18% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Finning International today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth CA$45.53, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Finning International’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from Finning International?

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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 3.5% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Finning International, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? FTT’s 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 financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on FTT, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.

So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. To that end, you should learn about the 3 warning signs we've spotted with Finning International (including 2 which are a bit concerning).
