Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ:SPNS)?

Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ:SPNS), might not be a large cap stock, but it led the NASDAQGS 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. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine Sapiens International’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Check out our latest analysis for Sapiens International

What is Sapiens International worth?

According to my valuation model, Sapiens International seems to be fairly priced at around 5.5% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Sapiens International today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $35.40, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Sapiens International’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. 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 Sapiens International?

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. Sapiens International's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 58%, 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? It seems like the market has already priced in SPNS’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
