3 Undervalued UK ADRs Trading On The NYSE

The London Stock Exchange offers value investors great stocks with strong fundamentals and a sustained dividend growth. However, with the currency exchange rates, it is often expensive for US investors to invest directly in the LSE. Through the ADRs - in this article American Depositary Receipts -, value investors can invest in foreign stocks that trade in the NYSE or the Nasdaq at the lowest cost. Another thing to consider is whether a stock is over- or undervalued. This means that its market price is higher or lower than its present value.

These 3 Canadian ADRs are overpriced, according to the Dividend Discount Model

Overvalued means that a stock, or in this article the American Depositary Receipt (ADR), trades at a market price that is higher than the stock’s (ADR’s) actual price (present value), showing that it might be time to sell.

Sell These 3 Soft Drink Sellers?

Overvalued describes a security with a market price that is considered too high based on the company’s fundamentals. For instance, a stock may be overvalued because investors have confidence in the company. A rise in investor confidence will surge the demand for the security, thereby increasing the market price. However, if the company’s balance sheet is not strong enough to support the market price, the stock will most likely decline in due term. Also, if the security is fairly valued and its price is not declining when the company’s fundamentals deteriorate, the security is most likely overvalued. Beyond a company’s fundamentals, analysts use the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) to assess the present value of a security based on its projected... Read more

3 Undervalued Stocks Based on Dividend Discount Model

The Dividend Discount Model (DDM) seeks to estimate the present value of a given stock based on the spread between the estimated dividend growth and a dividend discount rate. The projected dividend growth is estimated by taking into consideration the stock's dividend history. If a stock delivers an annualized dividend of $1.80 per share and has an actual dividend growth of 120% over the last 15 years, you can calculate the average growth at 8% per year. For the dividend discount rate, which is actually the return you expect on your money, you can calculate a proxy rate based on the dividend’s growth. For instance, when the $1.80 dividend per share (DPS) goes up to $1.94, which is an 8% growth, the $1.94 is actually worth $1.75 to you today, because if you had $1.75 today,... Read more
