Check out our latest analysis for CK Infrastructure Holdings
What's the opportunity in CK Infrastructure Holdings?
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 11% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy CK Infrastructure Holdings today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is HK$51.80, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. In addition to this, CK Infrastructure Holdings has a low beta, which suggests its share price is less volatile than the wider market.
What does the future of CK Infrastructure Holdings look like?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Though in the case of CK Infrastructure Holdings, it is expected to deliver a negative earnings growth of -2.3%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? 1038 seems fairly priced right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to reduce the risk in your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock optimal for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on the stock, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on 1038 for a while, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. The price seems to be trading at fair value, which means there’s less benefit from mispricing. Furthermore, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help crystalize your views on 1038 should the price fluctuate below its true value.
