Should You Investigate Visiativ SA (EPA:ALVIV) At €26.00?

Visiativ SA (EPA:ALVIV), might not be a large cap stock, but it led the ENXTPA gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. Less-covered, small caps sees 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 Visiativ’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What Is Visiativ Worth?

The stock is currently trading at €26.00 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 22% compared to my intrinsic value of €21.25. This means that the opportunity to buy Visiativ at a good price has disappeared! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Visiativ’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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 Visiativ 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. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 3.0% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Visiativ, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? ALVIV’s future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe ALVIV should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on ALVIV for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
