Should You Investigate SINA Corporation (NASDAQ:SINA) At US$45.05?

SINA Corporation (NASDAQ:SINA), which is in the interactive media and services business, and is based in China, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on SINA’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's the opportunity in SINA?

Great news for investors – SINA is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $65.64, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, SINA’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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 does the future of SINA look like?

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. SINA’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 47%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since SINA is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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.

Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy SINA. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
