When Should You Buy Renta Corporación Real Estate, S.A. (BME:REN)?

Renta Corporación Real Estate, S.A. (BME:REN), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the BME. Less-covered, small caps tend to present 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 examine Renta Corporación Real Estate’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's the opportunity in Renta Corporación Real Estate?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 3.1% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Renta Corporación Real Estate today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is €2.32, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Renta Corporación Real Estate’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.

Can we expect growth from Renta Corporación Real Estate?

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. In Renta Corporación Real Estate's case, its revenues over the next couple of years are expected to double, indicating an incredibly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth 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 already priced in REN’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 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 REN, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect 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.

So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Renta Corporación Real Estate at this point in time. You'd be interested to know, that we found 2 warning signs for Renta Corporación Real Estate and you'll want to know about them.
