Is It Too Late To Consider Buying ITT Inc. (NYSE:ITT)?

Today we're going to take a look at the well-established ITT Inc. (NYSE:ITT). The company's stock received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to US$140 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$124. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether ITT's current trading price of US$127 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at ITT’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What Is ITT Worth?

Good news, investors! ITT is still a bargain right now. According to our valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $168.22, but it is currently trading at US$127 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, ITT’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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 ITT?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. ITT's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 47%, 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? Since ITT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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.
