Arbonia AG (VTX:ARBN), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the SWX. 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 Arbonia’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Arbonia still cheap?
According to my valuation model, Arbonia seems to be fairly priced at around 17% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Arbonia today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth CHF19.57, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Arbonia’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
Can we expect growth from Arbonia?
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. 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 grow by 84% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Arbonia. 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? ARBN’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 ARBN, 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 diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
