What's The Opportunity In Doman Building Materials Group?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to our valuation model. It’s trading around 5.24% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Doman Building Materials Group today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is CA$6.37, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Doman Building Materials Group’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

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. However, with a negative profit growth of -11% expected next year, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Doman Building Materials Group. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
