What Is Xin Point Holdings Limited's (HKG:1571) Share Price Doing?

Xin Point Holdings Limited (HKG:1571), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the SEHK 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 examine Xin Point Holdings’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is Xin Point Holdings worth?

According to my price multiple model, which makes a comparison between the company's price-to-earnings ratio and the industry average, the stock price seems to be justfied. 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 Xin Point Holdings’s ratio of 18.79x is trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 15.62x, which means if you buy Xin Point Holdings today, you’d be paying a relatively sensible price for it. And if you believe that Xin Point Holdings should be trading at this level in the long run, then there should only be a fairly immaterial downside vs other industry peers. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Xin Point Holdings’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. 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 Xin Point Holdings?

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 more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Xin Point Holdings. 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? It seems like the market has already priced in 1571’s positive outlook, with shares trading around industry price multiples. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at 1571? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on 1571, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for 1571, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
