Enpro Inc. (NYSE:NPO), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to US$170 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$145. 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 Enpro's current trading price of US$150 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 Enpro'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 Enpro?

According to our valuation model, Enpro seems to be fairly priced at around 11% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Enpro today, you'd be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company's true value is $169.07, then there's not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Enpro'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.

Can we expect growth from Enpro?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 6.8% expected in the upcoming year, short term growth doesn't seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Enpro.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in NPO's future outlook, 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 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 NPO, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook 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.
