Plaza S.A. (SNSE:MALLPLAZA), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth of 10% on the SNSE over the last few months. Shareholders may appreciate the recent price jump, but the company still has a way to go before reaching its yearly highs again. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Plaza’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.
What's The Opportunity In Plaza?
According to our valuation model, Plaza seems to be fairly priced at around 11% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Plaza today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is CLP2421.69, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. What's more, Plaza’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

What does the future of Plaza 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. Though in the case of Plaza, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 5.0%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in MALLPLAZA’s future outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. 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 tabs on MALLPLAZA, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook 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.
