Let’s review some notable picks from our screened stocks.
Overview: Laureate Education, Inc. provides higher education programs and services through its network of universities and institutions, with a market cap of approximately $4.48 billion.
Operations: Laureate Education generates revenue primarily from its operations in Peru ($756.18 million) and Mexico ($827.52 million).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 43.7%
Laureate Education appears undervalued with its current stock price of US$31.15 trading significantly below the estimated fair value of US$55.36, suggesting a discount based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite slower revenue growth forecasts (9.8% annually), earnings are expected to grow at a robust 23% per year, outpacing the broader U.S. market’s growth rate. However, recent insider selling and decreased net income highlight potential concerns amidst positive long-term earnings projections and an expanded buyback plan worth US$250 million.
Overview: Dutch Bros Inc. operates and franchises drive-thru coffee shops in the United States, with a market cap of approximately $9.48 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from its company-operated shops, contributing $1.41 billion, and franchising activities, which add $123.40 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 12.5%
