Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc (NYSE:ANW), an energy company based in Greece, led the NYSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Aegean Marine Petroleum Network’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What’s the opportunity in Aegean Marine Petroleum Network?
Good news, investors! Aegean Marine Petroleum Network is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $7.52, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Aegean Marine Petroleum Network’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
Can we expect growth from Aegean Marine Petroleum Network?
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. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company’s future expectations. In Aegean Marine Petroleum Network’s case, its revenues over the next few years are expected to grow by 34.39%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Since ANW is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ANW for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy ANW. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
