Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZG), which is in the interactive media and services business, and is based in United States, saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the NasdaqGS. 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.

What’s the opportunity in Zillow Group?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 24.51%, trading at US$33.15 compared to my intrinsic value of $26.63. This means that the opportunity to buy Zillow Group at a good price has disappeared! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Zillow Group’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.

Can we expect growth from Zillow Group?

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. Zillow Group’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 22%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in ZG’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe ZG 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.

The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for ZG, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
