Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY)?
Simply Wall St, 12 February 2021
Let’s talk about the popular Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY). The company’s shares received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NYSE over the last few months. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s take a look at Avery Dennison’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.
Is Avery Dennison still cheap?
The stock is currently trading at US$173 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 40% compared to my intrinsic value of $123.96. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. Furthermore, Avery Dennison’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.
