What Does SKY Network Television Limited's (NZSE:SKT) Share Price Indicate?

As a stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy?

Is SKY Network Television still cheap?

According to my valuation model, SKY Network Television seems to be fairly priced at around 5.8% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy SKY Network Television today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth NZ$0.19, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that SKY Network Television’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 SKY Network Television?

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. However, with an expected decline of -8.2% in revenues over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for SKY Network Television. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Currently, SKT appears to be trading around its fair value, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock optimal for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on the stock, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
