Lumibird SA (EPA:LBIRD), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the ENXTPA, rising to highs of €17.90 and falling to the lows of €15.30. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

Is Lumibird still cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 2.8% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Lumibird today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €16.77, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Lumibird’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Lumibird 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. Lumibird'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? LBIRD’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on LBIRD, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
