Should You Think About Buying Tuniu Corporation (NASDAQ:TOUR) Now?

Tuniu Corporation (NASDAQ:TOUR), which is in the hospitality business, and is based in China, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGM over the last few months, increasing to US$3.32 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$2.21. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Tuniu's current trading price of US$2.40 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Tuniu’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's the opportunity in Tuniu?

Great news for investors – Tuniu is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $3.29, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, Tuniu’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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 Tuniu?

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. Tuniu’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 74%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since TOUR 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
