Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the NYSE, rising to highs of US$39.45 and falling to the lows of US$24.21. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Trinity Industries' current trading price of US$25.37 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Trinity Industries’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.
What Is Trinity Industries Worth?
According to our valuation model, Trinity Industries seems to be fairly priced at around 17.93% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Trinity Industries today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $21.51, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Trinity Industries’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.
