Is It Time To Buy CommScope Holding Company Inc (NASDAQ:COMM)?

CommScope Holding Company Inc (NASDAQ:COMM), a communications company based in United States, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the NasdaqGS, rising to the highs of $32.11 and falling to the lows of $28.92. 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 CommScope Holding Company’s current trading price of $31.69 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 CommScope Holding Company’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is CommScope Holding Company still cheap?

According to my valuation model, CommScope Holding Company seems to be fairly priced at around 7.5% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy CommScope Holding Company today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $34.25, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since CommScope Holding Company’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. 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.

What kind of growth will CommScope Holding Company generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for CommScope Holding Company. 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? It seems like the market has already priced in COMM’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on COMM, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
