What Does AdUX SA's (EPA:ADUX) Share Price Indicate?

While AdUX SA (EPA:ADUX) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the ENXTPA. 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 AdUX’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's the opportunity in AdUX?

Great news for investors – AdUX is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €2.29, but it is currently trading at €1.72 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that AdUX’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.

Can we expect growth from AdUX?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Though in the case of AdUX, it is expected to deliver a highly negative earnings growth in the next few years, 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? Although ADUX is currently undervalued, the negative outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to ADUX, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ADUX for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
