Yahoo Finance Should You Think About Buying National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ) Now?
National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ), which is in the beverage 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 $49.57 at one point, and dropping to the lows of $39.89. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

What is National Beverage worth?
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 19.98% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy National Beverage today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $34.09, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that National Beverage’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What kind of growth will National Beverage generate?
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. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for National Beverage, at least in the near future.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Currently, FIZZ appears to be trading around its fair value, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock beneficial for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on the stock, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on FIZZ for a while, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. The price seems to be trading at fair value, which means there’s less benefit from mispricing. Furthermore, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help gel your views on FIZZ should the price fluctuate below its true value.
