Should You Buy Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. (BIT:FCA) Now?

Today we’re going to take a look at the well-established Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. (BIT:FCA). The company’s stock saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the BIT over the last few months. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists. Check out our latest analysis for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles

What is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles worth?

According to my valuation model, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles seems to be fairly priced at around 18.37% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €21.87, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’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.

Can we expect growth from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles?

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. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 42.65%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? FCA’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?

However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
