Is It Time To Consider Buying WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS)?

WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the NYSE. As a mid-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s take a look at WNS (Holdings)’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is WNS (Holdings) Worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 4.48% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy WNS (Holdings) today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $82.95, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since WNS (Holdings)’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.

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. 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. WNS (Holdings)'s earnings growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. This should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? WNS’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, 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?
