Is There Now An Opportunity In ABB India Limited (NSE:ABB)?

ABB India Limited (NSE:ABB), a electrical company based in India, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NSEI over the last few months, increasing to ₹1390.25 at one point, and dropping to the lows of ₹1161.15. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether ABB India’s current trading price of ₹1204.4 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at ABB India’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. See our latest analysis for ABB India

What is ABB India worth?

ABB India appears to be overvalued according to my relative valuation model. I’ve used the price-to-equity ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 58.97x is currently well-above the industry average of 20.11x, meaning that it is trading at a more expensive price relative to its peers. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Since ABB India’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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.

Can we expect growth from ABB India?

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 68.21% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for ABB India. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in ABB’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe ABB should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
