Should You Think About Buying Riber S.A. (EPA:ALRIB) Now?

While Riber S.A. (EPA:ALRIB) 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. As a small cap stock, which tends to lack high analyst coverage, 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Riber’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's the opportunity in Riber?

Good news, investors! Riber is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €2.06, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Riber’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.

What kind of growth will Riber generate?

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. Riber's earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since ALRIB 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 ALRIB 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 ALRIB. 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 buy.
