When Should You Buy Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA (ATH:HTO)?

Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA (ATH:HTO), a telecom company based in Greece, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the ATSE, rising to the highs of €12.05 and falling to the lows of €10.1. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether Hellenic Telecommunications Organization’s current trading price of €10.36 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 Hellenic Telecommunications Organization’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What’s the opportunity in Hellenic Telecommunications Organization?

Great news for investors – Hellenic Telecommunications Organization is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €14.33, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Hellenic Telecommunications Organization’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from Hellenic Telecommunications Organization?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Hellenic Telecommunications Organization’s earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since HTO is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
