Is Shanghai Industrial Holdings still cheap?

According to my valuation model, Shanghai Industrial Holdings seems to be fairly priced at around 12% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Shanghai Industrial Holdings today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is HK$17.38, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Shanghai Industrial Holdings’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What does the future of Shanghai Industrial Holdings 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. Shanghai Industrial Holdings’s earnings growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. This should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:
