Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Air New Zealand Limited (NZSE:AIR)?

Air New Zealand Limited (NZSE:AIR), is not the largest company out there, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the NZSE, rising to highs of NZ$1.47 and falling to the lows of NZ$0.58. 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 Air New Zealand's current trading price of NZ$0.58 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 Air New Zealand’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's the opportunity in Air New Zealand?

Great news for investors – Air New Zealand is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is NZ$0.86, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Air New Zealand’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 Air New Zealand generate?

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 47% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Air New Zealand. 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 AIR is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on AIR for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy AIR. 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.
