Is Park Lawn Corporation (TSE:PLC) Potentially Undervalued?

While Park Lawn Corporation (TSE:PLC) might not have the largest market cap around , it saw a significant share price rise of 26% in the past couple of months on the TSX. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. With many analysts covering the 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 Park Lawn’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's The Opportunity In Park Lawn?

Good news, investors! Park Lawn is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is CA$32.91, but it is currently trading at CA$20.00 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Park Lawn’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 Park Lawn?

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since PLC is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price.
