A Trio of Stocks Trading at a Discount

Their share prices are standing below the projected free cash flow value

Article's Main Image

If you want to have more chances to uncover bargains, one way to do so is to screen the market for equities that are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value estimate as calculated from the projected free cash flow valuation model.

Unlike the discounted cash flow or discounted earnings valuation models, the projected FCF model can be applied to assess the value of companies whose record of revenue and earnings is erratic and may also incorporate losses in some quarters. The projected FCF uses a normalized free cash flow and book value.

The following three stocks appear undervalued according to the projected FCF model. They also hold positive recommendation ratings amid the community of sell-side analysts in Wall Street.

Taylor Morrison Home Corp

The first company that qualifies is Taylor Morrison Home Corp (TMHC, Financial), a Scottsdale, Arizona-based builder of single-family and multi-family homes in the U.S.

The stock traded at around $29.34 per share at close on Friday, which represents a discount of 50.7% to the projected free cash flow of $59.52 per share.
