Is It Time To Consider Buying Caesarstone Ltd. (NASDAQ:CSTE)?

Caesarstone Ltd. (NASDAQ:CSTE), which is in the building business, and is based in Israel, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Let’s take a look at Caesarstone’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Caesarstone still cheap?

Great news for investors – Caesarstone is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $24.74, but it is currently trading at US$16.03 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Caesarstone’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What does the future of Caesarstone look like?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. In the upcoming year, Caesarstone’s earnings are expected to increase by 75%, 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? Since CSTE is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on CSTE for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy CSTE. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed buy.
