Has AptarGroup Stock Quietly Become a Growth Opportunity?

Here is why we think AptarGroup (ATR) stock deserves consideration as a value stock. It is currently trading nearly 34% below its 1 year high, and also trading at a PS multiple which is below the average for the last 3 years.

• Strong Margin: Nearly 13.5% 3-year average operating margin.
• No Major Margin Shock: AptarGroup has avoided any large margin collapse in the last 12 months.
• Modest Valuation: Despite encouraging fundamentals, ATR stock trades at a PE multiple of 17.9

But Consider The Risk

That said, stocks still face real risk. The Dot-Com Bubble wiped out about 35%, while the Global Financial Crisis hit even harder with a 44% drop. The 2018 Correction and Covid sell-off caused smaller but still notable dips around 20% and 29%, respectively. The recent inflation shock also knocked about 40% off peak levels. Bottom line: even with strong fundamentals, significant drawdowns happen when markets turn south.
