What is WNS (Holdings) worth?

According to my valuation model, WNS (Holdings) seems to be fairly priced at around 3.92% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy WNS (Holdings) today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $41.34, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that WNS (Holdings)’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will WNS (Holdings) generate?

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. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 15% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for WNS (Holdings). 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? WNS’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value.
