What's the opportunity in Hanger?

Good news, investors! Hanger is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $23.88, 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, Hanger’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 Hanger generate?

What this means for you:

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

However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
