What Is Syneos Health Worth?

Good news, investors!

Syneos Health is still a bargain right now according to my price multiple model, which compares the company’s price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Syneos Health’s ratio of 13.3x is below its peer average of 26.11x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Life Sciences industry.

Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Syneos Health’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

Can we expect growth from Syneos Health?

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. However, with a negative profit growth of -7.3% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Syneos Health. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Although SYNH is currently trading below the industry PE ratio, 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 SYNH, 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 SYNH for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you dig deeper into the stock. Given its current price multiple, now is a great time to make a decision.

But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future. So while earnings quality is important, it’s equally important to consider the risks facing Syneos Health at this point in time. While conducting our analysis, we found that Syneos Health has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore this.
