What’s the opportunity in Tempur Sealy International?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 8.63% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Tempur Sealy International today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $50.99, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Tempur Sealy International’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from Tempur Sealy International?
