Is It Time To Consider Buying Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ:TECH)?

Let's talk about the popular Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ:TECH). The company's shares saw significant share price movement during recent months on the NASDAQGS, rising to highs of US$539 and falling to the lows of US$456. 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 Bio-Techne's current trading price of US$456 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Bio-Techne’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Bio-Techne still cheap?

According to my valuation model, Bio-Techne seems to be fairly priced at around 10.64% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Bio-Techne today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $412.29, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Bio-Techne’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 does the future of Bio-Techne look like?

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. Bio-Techne's earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in TECH’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 TECH, 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.
