Is It Time To Consider Buying The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC)?

The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC), which is in the machinery business, and is based in United States, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NYSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Toro’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Toro still cheap?

According to my valuation model, Toro seems to be fairly priced at around 12% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Toro today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $71.57, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, Toro’s low beta implies that the stock is less volatile than the wider market.

Can we expect growth from Toro?

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. Toro’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 58%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in TTC’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on TTC, 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 diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
