Is Scientific Games Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Have Scientific Games Corporation's shares ever split?
Scientific Games Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 26 October 1993. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Scientific Games Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Scientific Games Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Scientific Games Corporation's share price.
Scientific Games Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Scientific Games Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $45 up to $90.2. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
