At UK£8.80, Is Solid State plc (LON:SOLI) Worth Looking At Closely?

Solid State plc (LON:SOLI), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the AIM. 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Solid State’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Solid State still cheap?

Solid State appears to be overvalued by 37% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at UK£8.80 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of £6.44. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Solid State’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.

Can we expect growth from Solid State?

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. With profit expected to grow by 22% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Solid State. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? SOLI’s optimistic 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 SOLI 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 SOLI 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 is encouraging for SOLI, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
