Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Wasion Holdings Limited (HKG:3393)?

Wasion Holdings Limited (HKG:3393), might not be a large cap stock, but it led the SEHK gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. As a small cap stock, which tends to lack high analyst coverage, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Wasion Holdings’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is Wasion Holdings worth?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 22%, trading at HK$2.66 compared to my intrinsic value of HK$2.18. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! Another thing to keep in mind is that Wasion Holdings’s share price is quite stable relative to the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

Can we expect growth from Wasion Holdings?

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. Wasion Holdings' earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 48%, 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? 3393’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 3393 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 an eye on 3393 for a while, 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 optimistic prospect is encouraging for 3393, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
