EBR:KBC

). Thewhat is an ipdm company's shares received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the ENXTBR over the last few months, increasing to €73.32 at one point, and dropping to the lows of €53.98. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

What's the opportunity in KBC Group?

Great news for investors – KBC Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €76.75, but it is currently trading at €53.98 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. KBC Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

Can we expect growth from KBC Group?

ENXTBR:KBC Past and Future Earnings, March 10th 2020

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. 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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 1.8% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for KBC Group, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder?

Even though growth is relatively muted, since KBC 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor?

If you’ve been keeping an eye on KBC for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy KBC. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
