Is Volution Group Still Cheap?

According to my valuation model, Volution Group seems to be fairly priced at around 16.98% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Volution Group today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth £3.10, then there isn’t really any 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 Volution Group’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.
