At CHF123, Is It Time To Put Medartis Holding AG (VTX:MED) On Your Watch List?

Medartis Holding AG (VTX:MED), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the SWX over the last few months. 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 Medartis Holding’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Medartis Holding still cheap?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 33%, trading at CHF123 compared to my intrinsic value of CHF92.72. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. In addition to this, it seems like Medartis Holding’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to fall back down to an attractive buying range, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

What does the future of Medartis Holding 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. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Medartis Holding. 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? MED’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe MED should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on MED for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for MED, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
