Why Vonovia SE (ETR:VNA) Could Be Worth Watching

Vonovia SE (ETR:VNA) received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the XTRA over the last few months. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Vonovia’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is Vonovia Worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 12.55% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Vonovia today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is €18.80, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. What's more, Vonovia’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

What does the future of Vonovia look like?

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. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected next year, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Vonovia, at least in the near future.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? VNA seems fairly priced right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock beneficial for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on the stock, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on VNA for a while, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. The stock appears to be trading at fair value, which means there’s less benefit from mispricing. In addition to this, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help gel your views on VNA should the price fluctuate below its true value.
