Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALRM), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$70.68 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$60.91. 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 Alarm.com Holdings' current trading price of US$65.73 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 Alarm.com Holdings's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Alarm.com Holdings?

According to our valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 23%, trading at US$65.73 compared to our intrinsic value of $53.42. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. Another thing to keep in mind is that Alarm.com Holdings's share price is quite stable relative to the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it's there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

What kind of growth will Alarm.com Holdings generate?

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. Alarm.com Holdings' earnings growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. This should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? ALRM's optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe ALRM should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on ALRM for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there's no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for ALRM, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
