Is Reworld Media Société Anonyme (EPA:ALREW) Potentially Undervalued?

Reworld Media Société Anonyme (EPA:ALREW), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase 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 Reworld Media Société Anonyme’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is Reworld Media Société Anonyme worth?

Great news for investors – Reworld Media Société Anonyme 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. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Reworld Media Société Anonyme’s ratio of 5.97x is below its peer average of 12.43x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Media industry. Reworld Media Société Anonyme’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its industry peers, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

Can we expect growth from Reworld Media Société Anonyme?

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. 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. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Reworld Media Société Anonyme, at least in the near future.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although ALREW is currently trading below the industry PE ratio, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to ALREW, 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 ALREW for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current price multiple, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
