At €4.69, Is It Time To Put MAX Automation SE (ETR:MXHN) On Your Watch List?

While MAX Automation SE (ETR:MXHN) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it led the XTRA gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on MAX Automation’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is MAX Automation worth?

Good news, investors! MAX Automation is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €6.51, 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, MAX Automation’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 MAX Automation 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. 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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 7.1% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for MAX Automation, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since MXHN 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 MXHN 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 MXHN. 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.
