Established dividend payer and good value
NAVI’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if NAVI’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, NAVI’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This bolsters the proposition that NAVI’s price is currently discounted.
