While Metrovacesa S.A. (BME:MVC) might not have the largest market cap around , it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the BME, rising to highs of €9.96 and falling to the lows of €8.03. 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 Metrovacesa's current trading price of €8.44 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 Metrovacesa’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Metrovacesa?
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to our valuation model. It’s trading around 7.8% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Metrovacesa today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €9.16, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Metrovacesa’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What does the future of Metrovacesa look like?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. With revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 18% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Metrovacesa. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in MVC’s positive 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 an eye on MVC, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value.
