Should You Think About Buying KPS AG (ETR:KSC) Now?

KPS AG (ETR:KSC), is not the largest company out there, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the XTRA, rising to highs of €6.26 and falling to the lows of €4.82. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether KPS' current trading price of €5.16 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at KPS’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is KPS still cheap?

According to my valuation model, KPS seems to be fairly priced at around 5.5% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy KPS today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is €5.46, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since KPS’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. 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.

Can we expect growth from KPS?

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. KPS' earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 70%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? KSC’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. 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 KSC, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which 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.
