Should You Investigate The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) At US$18.63?

The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS), which is in the chemicals business, and is based in United States, saw significant share price movement during recent months on the NYSE, rising to highs of US$22.97 and falling to the lows of US$18.02. 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 Mosaic's current trading price of US$18.63 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 Mosaic’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Mosaic still cheap?

Good news, investors! Mosaic is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $34.73, but it is currently trading at US$18.63 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Mosaic’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.

Can we expect growth from Mosaic?

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. Mosaic’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? Since MOS is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
