Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Bubs Australia Limited (ASX:BUB)?

Bubs Australia Limited (ASX:BUB), which is in the food business, and is based in Australia, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the ASX over the last few months. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Bubs Australia’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Bubs Australia still cheap?

According to my valuation model, Bubs Australia seems to be fairly priced at around 19% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Bubs Australia today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is A$1.42, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. In addition to this, Bubs Australia has a low beta, which suggests its share price is less volatile than the wider market.

What kind of growth will Bubs Australia generate?

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. In the upcoming year, Bubs Australia’s earnings are expected to increase by 97%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? BUB’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on BUB, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
