Should You Investigate Groupe Guillin S.A. (EPA:ALGIL) At €25.40?

Groupe Guillin S.A. (EPA:ALGIL), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the ENXTPA over the last few months. 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. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Let’s examine Groupe Guillin’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is Groupe Guillin worth?

According to my valuation model, Groupe Guillin seems to be fairly priced at around 2.6% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Groupe Guillin today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €26.08, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, Groupe Guillin’s low beta implies that the stock is less volatile than the wider market.

What kind of growth will Groupe Guillin 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. Though in the case of Groupe Guillin, it is expected to deliver a negative earnings growth of -14%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? ALGIL seems fairly priced right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to reduce the risk in your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock optimal for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on the stock, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on ALGIL for a while, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. The price seems to be trading at fair value, which means there’s less benefit from mispricing. In addition to this, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help gel your views on ALGIL should the price fluctuate below its true value.
