Bidcorp (BID) share valuation as at 20 Feb 2019

So what are Bidcorp shares worth, based on their revenues, net profits, dividend yield and their cash generation capabilities and the markets and geographies they operate in? Based on Bidcorp's financial results, and their future prospects we value the company's shares at R303.81 (at the top end of our valuation model). So trading at R289 (as at 20 February 2019) it is relatively close to our top en valuation is believe long term investors currently holding it should continue to do so, and those looking to get in should look to get in at a about 15% below our top end valuation of R303, so look to get in at around R270 levels if possible
