What's the opportunity in Hollysys Automation Technologies?

Great news for investors – Hollysys Automation Technologies is still trading at a fairly cheap price. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Hollysys Automation Technologies’s ratio of 7.9x is below its peer average of 20.83x, which suggests the stock is undervalued compared to the Electronic industry. What’s more interesting is that, Hollysys Automation Technologies’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 Hollysys Automation Technologies?

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since HOLI is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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.
