Is It Time To Buy Mellanox Technologies Ltd (MLNX)?

Mellanox Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:MLNX), a semiconductors and semiconductor equipment company based in Israel, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NasdaqGS in the over the last few months, increasing to $47.2 at one point, and dropping to the lows of $42.5. 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 MLNX's current trading price of $46.35 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 MLNX’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. Check out our latest analysis for Mellanox Technologies

What's the opportunity in MLNX?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 11% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy MLNX today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe MLNX’s true value is $51.31, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. In addition to this, it seems like MLNX’s share price is quite stable, which could mean there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because MLNX’s stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? MLNX’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value.
