Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE:VEEV)?

Let's talk about the popular Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE:VEEV). The company's shares received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NYSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine Veeva Systems’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Veeva Systems still cheap?

The stock is currently trading at US$192 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 43% compared to my intrinsic value of $134.83. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. In addition to this, it seems like Veeva Systems’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to fall back down to an attractive buying range, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

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. With profit expected to grow by 65% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Veeva Systems. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in VEEV’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe VEEV 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.
