Is There Now An Opportunity In SINA Corporation (NASDAQ:SINA)?

SINA Corporation (NASDAQ:SINA), which is in the interactive media and services business, and is based in China, saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. 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. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at SINA’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is SINA worth?

Good news, investors! SINA is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $43.45, but it is currently trading at US$30.80 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 SINA’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 SINA?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 18% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for SINA. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

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 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.
