Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 relatively muted profit growth of 6.2% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Berry Global Group, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since BERY is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
