Is Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) Potentially Undervalued?

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX), which is in the luxury business, and is based in United States, saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. 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.

Is Crocs still cheap?

According to my valuation model, Crocs seems to be fairly priced at around 14% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Crocs today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $49.49, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Crocs’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 Crocs generate?

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. Crocs’s revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. Unless expenses grow at the same level, or higher, this top-line growth should lead to robust 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 CROX’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 financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
