What Is Jumbo S.A.'s (ATH:BELA) Share Price Doing?

While Jumbo S.A. (ATH:BELA) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, 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. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Jumbo’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Jumbo still cheap?

Jumbo appears to be overvalued by 32% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at €14.40 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of €10.95. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that Jumbo’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Jumbo generate?

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. Jumbo's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 25%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

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