Is Hub Group Still Cheap?

Great news for investors – Hub Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to our valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $58.79, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Hub Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

With profit expected to grow by 44% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Hub Group.

With an optimistic 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 capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
