While Manz AG (ETR:M5Z) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the XTRA 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Manz’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.
Check out our latest analysis for Manz
What is Manz worth?
Great news for investors – Manz is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €72.83, but it is currently trading at €48.75 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Manz’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 Manz look like?
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. Manz's 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? Since M5Z is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. 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 M5Z for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy M5Z. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed buy.
