Fraport AG (ETR:FRA), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth of 12% on the XTRA over the last few months. The company is now trading at yearly-high levels following the recent surge in its share price. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Fraport’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.
What Is Fraport Worth?
Good news, investors! Fraport is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €77.39, but it is currently trading at €58.10 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Fraport’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What does the future of Fraport look like?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. However, with a negative profit growth of -6.2% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Fraport. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? Although FRA is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. We recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to FRA, 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 FRA for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, we recommend you dig deeper 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.
