Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Kesla Oyj (HEL:KELAS)?

While Kesla Oyj (HEL:KELAS) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the HLSE. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value.

What's the opportunity in Kesla Oyj?

Good news, investors! Kesla Oyj is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €7.32, but it is currently trading at €4.97 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Kesla Oyj’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

Can we expect growth from Kesla Oyj?

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. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Kesla Oyj.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since KELAS is currently undervalued, 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 undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on KELAS for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy KELAS. 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 investment decision.
