While Meier Tobler Group AG (VTX:MTG) 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 SWX. 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 Meier Tobler Group’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Meier Tobler Group Still Cheap?

Great news for investors – Meier Tobler Group is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is CHF70.31, but it is currently trading at CHF52.80 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Meier Tobler Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

Can we expect growth from Meier Tobler Group?

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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 8.8% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Meier Tobler Group, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since MTG is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of 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 MTG 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 MTG. 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.

With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. For example - Meier Tobler Group has 3 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
