Hope Bancorp,pittsford state game area Inc. (

NASDAQ:HOPE

), operating in the financial services industry based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$15.47 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$13.80. 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 Hope Bancorp's current trading price of US$14.86 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Hope Bancorp’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 Hope Bancorp?

Great news for investors – Hope Bancorp is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $18.96, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Hope Bancorp’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.

What does the future of Hope Bancorp look like?

NasdaqGS:HOPE Past and Future Earnings, January 1st 2020

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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 a negative profit growth of -10% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Hope Bancorp. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder?

Although HOPE is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to HOPE, 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 tabs on HOPE for some time, 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.
