Yahoo Finance Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ:CAMP)?
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ:CAMP), which is in the communications business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$11.86 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$6.10. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

Let’s take a look at CalAmp’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is CalAmp worth?
According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 37%, trading at US$6.10 compared to my intrinsic value of $4.45. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since CalAmp’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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.
Can we expect growth from CalAmp?
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. 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. Though in the case of CalAmp, it is expected to deliver a highly negative earnings growth in the next few years, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? If you believe CAMP is currently trading above its value, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. Given the uncertainty from negative growth in the future, this could be the right time to reduce your total portfolio risk. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on CAMP for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. Its price has risen beyond its true value, on top of a negative future outlook. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management. Should the price fall in the future, will you be well-informed enough to buy?
