While Indra Sistemas, S.A. (BME:IDR) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the BME over the last few months, increasing to €11.09 at one point, and dropping to the lows of €8.90. 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 Indra Sistemas' current trading price of €9.26 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 Indra Sistemas’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Indra Sistemas still cheap?
Great news for investors – Indra Sistemas is still trading at a fairly cheap price according to my price multiple model, where I compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 20.27x is currently well-below the industry average of 35.18x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. However, given that Indra Sistemas’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What kind of growth will Indra Sistemas generate?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. Indra Sistemas' 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 IDR is currently below the industry PE ratio, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 price multiple.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on IDR for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future profit outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy IDR. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed assessment.
