Is Now The Time To Look At Buying NRB Bearings Limited (NSE:NRBBEARING)?

While NRB Bearings Limited (NSE:NRBBEARING) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NSEI 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on NRB Bearings’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is NRB Bearings worth?

According to my valuation model, NRB Bearings seems to be fairly priced at around 13.99% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy NRB Bearings today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is ₹98.12, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because NRB Bearings’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What kind of growth will NRB Bearings generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. NRB Bearings' earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? NRBBEARING’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. 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 the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on NRBBEARING, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
