Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMCL), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. The company is inching closer to its yearly highs following the recent share price climb. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let's examine Omnicell's valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there's still a bargain opportunity.
What's The Opportunity In Omnicell?
According to our valuation model, Omnicell seems to be fairly priced at around 1.9% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Omnicell today, you'd be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company's true value is $54.07, then there isn't much room for the share price grow beyond what it's currently trading. What's more, Omnicell's share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.
What kind of growth will Omnicell 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. With revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 16% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Omnicell. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? OMCL's optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven't considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?
Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on OMCL, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it's worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. Case in point: We've spotted 1 warning sign for Omnicell you should be aware of.
