Why Mytilineos S.A. (ATH:MYTIL) Could Be Worth Watching

Mytilineos S.A. (ATH:MYTIL), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the ATSE. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Mytilineos’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Mytilineos Still Cheap?

Good news, investors! Mytilineos is still a bargain right now according to my price multiple model, which compares the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Mytilineos’s ratio of 8.74x is below its peer average of 14.86x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Industrials industry. Mytilineos’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 industry peers, 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 Mytilineos look like?

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. Mytilineos' earnings growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. This should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since MYTIL is currently below the industry PE ratio, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 price multiple.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on MYTIL for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future profit outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy MYTIL. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed assessment.
