At US$44.27, Is It Time To Put Inogen, Inc. (NASDAQ:INGN) On Your Watch List?

Inogen, Inc. (NASDAQ:INGN), which is in the medical equipment business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$76.15 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$44.27. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Inogen's current trading price of US$44.27 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Inogen’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Inogen still cheap?

Great news for investors – Inogen is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $61.19, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, Inogen’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What kind of growth will Inogen generate?

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. With profit expected to grow by 28% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Inogen. 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? Since INGN is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase 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. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
