At €14.98, Is Elis SA (EPA:ELIS) Worth Looking At Closely?

Elis SA (EPA:ELIS), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the ENXTPA. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine Elis’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Elis still cheap?

According to my valuation model, Elis seems to be fairly priced at around 14% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Elis today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €17.39, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Elis’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.

What kind of growth will Elis generate?

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. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Elis. 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? ELIS’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 confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ELIS, now may not be the most optimal 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.
