What Is Positivo Tecnologia S.A.'s (BVMF:POSI3) Share Price Doing?

Positivo Tecnologia S.A. (BVMF:POSI3), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the BOVESPA. Less-covered, small caps tend to present 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 Positivo Tecnologia’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is Positivo Tecnologia worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 12.41% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Positivo Tecnologia today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth R$4.52, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Positivo Tecnologia’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What does the future of Positivo Tecnologia look like?

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. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Positivo Tecnologia. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? POSI3’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 an eye on POSI3, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook 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.

With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. For example, we've found that Positivo Tecnologia has 4 warning signs (3 are concerning!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.
