Should You Investigate Bank of Queensland Limited (ASX:BOQ) At AU$10.42?

Bank of Queensland Limited (ASX:BOQ), operating in the financial services industry based in Australia, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the ASX, rising to the highs of A$11.55 and falling to the lows of A$10.38. 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 Bank of Queensland’s current trading price of A$10.42 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 Bank of Queensland’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Bank of Queensland worth?

According to my valuation model, Bank of Queensland seems to be fairly priced at around 7.8% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Bank of Queensland today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth A$11.31, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, it seems like Bank of Queensland’s share price is quite stable, which means there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

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. Bank of Queensland’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? It seems like the market has already priced in BOQ’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.
