Resilux NV (ENXTBR:RES), a packaging company based in Belgium, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the ENXTBR, rising to the highs of €155 and falling to the lows of €137.6.
This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether Resilux’s current trading price of €143.8 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Resilux’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.Check out our latest analysis for Resilux
What’s the opportunity in Resilux?
According to my relative valuation model, the stock seems to be currently fairly priced. I’ve used the price-to-equity ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 18.41x is currently trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 18.37x, which means if you buy Resilux today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe Resilux should be trading in this range, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, it seems like Resilux’s share price is quite stable, which means there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
What kind of growth will Resilux generate?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 an expected decline of -3.12% in revenues over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Resilux. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? RES seems fairly priced right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock optimal for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on RES, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on RES for a while, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. The stock appears to be trading at fair value, which means there’s less benefit from mispricing. In addition to this, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help crystalize your views on RES should the price fluctuate below its true value.
