While AdEPT Technology Group plc (LON:ADT) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the AIM over the last few months. Less-covered, small caps tend to present 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? Let’s take a look at AdEPT Technology Group’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is AdEPT Technology Group Worth?

Good news, investors! AdEPT Technology Group is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £2.57, but it is currently trading at UK£1.90 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. AdEPT Technology Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What does the future of AdEPT Technology Group look like?

AIM:ADT Earnings and Revenue Growth February 9th 2023

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. Though in the case of AdEPT Technology Group, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 6.6% over the next year, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since ADT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. 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 ADT for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy ADT. 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 buy.

So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing AdEPT Technology Group at this point in time.
