What's the opportunity in Genworth MI Canada?

Good news, investors! Genworth MI Canada is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is CA$77.12, but it is currently trading at CA$41.44 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 Genworth MI Canada’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.

What kind of growth will Genworth MI Canada generate?

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. Though in the case of Genworth MI Canada, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 1.6%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for Genworth MI Canada, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since MIC is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

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 investment decision.
