(NYSE:BHR), which is in the reits business, and is based in United States, saw significant share price movement during recent months on the NYSE, rising to highs of US$10.23 and falling to the lows of US$7.27. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

What is Braemar Hotels & Resorts worth?

Good news, investors! Braemar Hotels & Resorts is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $9.53, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Braemar Hotels & Resorts’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 Braemar Hotels & Resorts?

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. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Braemar Hotels & Resorts, at least in the near future.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although BHR is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to BHR, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on BHR for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
