Is It Time To Consider Buying The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE:HHC)?

The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE:HHC), is not the largest company out there, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the NYSE, rising to highs of US$105 and falling to the lows of US$78.98. 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 Howard Hughes' current trading price of US$80.86 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Howard Hughes’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Howard Hughes worth?

Great news for investors – Howard Hughes is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $117.66, but it is currently trading at US$80.86 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Howard Hughes’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Howard Hughes 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. Though in the case of Howard Hughes, it is expected to deliver a highly negative earnings growth in the next few years, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although HHC is currently undervalued, the negative outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to HHC, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on HHC for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.

So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Howard Hughes at this point in time. To that end, you should learn about the 3 warning signs we've spotted with Howard Hughes (including 1 which doesn't sit too well with us).
