What's the opportunity in Cracker Barrel Old Country Store?
Great news for investors – Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $144.47, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Another thing to keep in mind is that Cracker Barrel Old Country Store’s share price may be quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.
What does the future of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store look like?
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. However, with a negative profit growth of -7.4% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Although CBRL is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to CBRL, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on CBRL for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
