Should you get excited about ACSO’s future?
One reason why investors are attracted to ACSO is the high growth potential in the near future. The consensus forecast from 5 analysts is extremely bullish with earnings per share estimated to rise from today’s level of $0.373 to $0.711 over the next three years. This indicates an estimated earnings growth rate of 40% per year, on average, which signals a market-beating outlook in the upcoming years.
Is ACSO available at a good price after accounting for its growth?
ACSO is available at a PE (price-to-earnings) ratio of 29.38x today, which tells us the stock is overvalued based on current earnings compared to the Electronic industry average of 22.5x , and overvalued compared to the GB market average ratio of 15.85x .
We understand ACSO seems to be overvalued based on its current earnings, compared to its industry peers. But, seeing as accesso Technology Group is perceived as a high-growth stock, we must also account for its earnings growth, which is captured in the PEG ratio. A PE ratio of 29.38x and expected year-on-year earnings growth of 40% give accesso Technology Group a very low PEG ratio of 0.74x. So, when we include the growth factor in our analysis, accesso Technology Group appears relatively cheap , based on the fundamentals.
What this means for you:
ACSO’s current undervaluation could signal a potential buying opportunity to increase your exposure to the stock, or it you’re a potential investor, now may be the right time to buy. However, basing your investment decision off one metric alone is certainly not sufficient. There are many things I have not taken into account in this article and the PEG ratio is very one-dimensional.
