What Is Mapletree Commercial Trust’s (SGX:N2IU) Share Price Doing?

Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX:N2IU), a reits company based in Singapore, had a relatively subdued couple of weeks in terms of changes in share price, which continued to float around the range of SGD1.55 to SGD1.62. However, is this the true valuation level of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Mapletree Commercial Trust’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. See our latest analysis for Mapletree Commercial Trust

Is Mapletree Commercial Trust still cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 10.88% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Mapletree Commercial Trust today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth SGD1.41, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, Mapletree Commercial Trust’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This may mean it is less likely for the stock to fall lower from natural market volatility, which suggests less opportunities to buy moving forward.

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 an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Mapletree Commercial Trust, at least in the near future.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? N2IU seems fairly priced right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock beneficial for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on the stock, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on N2IU for a while, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. The stock appears to be trading at fair value, which means there’s less benefit from mispricing. In addition to this, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help gel your views on N2IU should the price fluctuate below its true value.
