Is It Time To Consider Buying First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN)?

First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN), operating in the financial services industry based in United States, maintained its current share price over the past couple of month on the NYSE, with a relatively tight range of US$15.23 to US$16.69. However, does this price actually reflect the true value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at First Horizon National’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is First Horizon National still cheap?

Good news, investors! First Horizon National is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $20.84, 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, First Horizon National’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.

What kind of growth will First Horizon National 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. First Horizon National’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 22%, 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 FHN 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.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on FHN for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy FHN. 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 buy.
