Is It Time To Consider Buying Volpara Health Technologies Limited (ASX:VHT)?

Volpara Health Technologies Limited (ASX:VHT), might not be a large cap stock, but it led the ASX gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Volpara Health Technologies’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Volpara Health Technologies Still Cheap?

Great news for investors – Volpara Health Technologies is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is A$1.15, but it is currently trading at AU$0.70 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Volpara Health Technologies’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 does the future of Volpara Health Technologies look like?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by 94% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Volpara Health Technologies. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since VHT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
