Should You Think About Buying Rubis (EPA:RUI) Now?

Rubis (EPA:RUI), is not the largest company out there, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the ENXTPA, rising to highs of €42.22 and falling to the lows of €37.09. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Rubis' current trading price of €38.10 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Rubis’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Rubis still cheap?

Great news for investors – Rubis is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €55.58, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Rubis’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 does the future of Rubis look like?

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. Rubis' earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 94%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since RUI is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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 RUI for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy RUI. 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 investment decision.
