What Does PSP Projects Limited's (NSE:PSPPROJECT) Share Price Indicate?

PSP Projects Limited (NSE:PSPPROJECT), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NSEI. Less-covered, small caps sees 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 take a look at PSP Projects’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is PSP Projects still cheap?

The share price seems sensible at the moment according to my price multiple model, where I compare 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 PSP Projects’s ratio of 15.51x is trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 12.39x, which means if you buy PSP Projects today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that PSP Projects should be trading at this level in the long run, then there should only be a fairly immaterial downside vs other industry peers. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that PSP Projects’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will PSP Projects 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. In PSP Projects’s case, its revenues are expected to grow by 31% over the next year, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in PSPPROJECT’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 financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at PSPPROJECT? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below the industry PE ratio?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on PSPPROJECT, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. However, the optimistic forecast is encouraging for PSPPROJECT, 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.
