What's the opportunity in Archer-Daniels-Midland?

Great news for investors – Archer-Daniels-Midland is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $66.44, but it is currently trading at US$40.35 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Archer-Daniels-Midland’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.
