Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Pacific Smiles Group Limited (ASX:PSQ)?
While Pacific Smiles Group Limited (ASX:PSQ) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the ASX. Less-covered, small caps sees more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s examine Pacific Smiles Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's the opportunity in Pacific Smiles Group?
Good news, investors! Pacific Smiles Group is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is A$2.75, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Pacific Smiles Group’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What does the future of Pacific Smiles Group look like?
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. Pacific Smiles Group's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 83%, 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? Since PSQ is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on PSQ for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy PSQ. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed buy.
With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. While conducting our analysis, we found that Pacific Smiles Group has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore this.
