What's the opportunity in Superior Plus?

Great news for investors – Superior Plus is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is CA$19.38, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. What’s more interesting is that, Superior Plus’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What does the future of Superior Plus look like?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 4.8% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Superior Plus, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since SPB is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. 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 SPB for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy SPB. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
