Is It Time To Consider Buying Medios AG (ETR:ILM1)?

Medios AG (ETR:ILM1), might not be a large cap stock, but 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? Let’s take a look at Medios’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Medios still cheap?

Medios appears to be overvalued by 35% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at €36.60 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of €27.12. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Medios’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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 kind of growth will Medios generate?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Medios' earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in ILM1’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe ILM1 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 an eye on ILM1 for a while, 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 optimistic prospect is encouraging for ILM1, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.

So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Medios at this point in time. For example, we've discovered 3 warning signs that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Medios.
