What is Atlantic Capital Bancshares worth?

Good news, investors! Atlantic Capital Bancshares is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $20.24, but it is currently trading at US$10.55 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Atlantic Capital Bancshares’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

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. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. Though in the case of Atlantic Capital Bancshares, it is expected to deliver a negative earnings growth of -16%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although ACBI is currently undervalued, the negative outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to ACBI, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
