Should You Investigate SpiceJet Limited (NSE:SPICEJET) At ₹68.35?

SpiceJet Limited (NSE:SPICEJET), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NSEI over the last few months. 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 SpiceJet’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is SpiceJet worth?

SpiceJet appears to be overvalued by 37% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at ₹68.35 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of ₹50.02. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Given that SpiceJet’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.

Can we expect growth from SpiceJet?

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. 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. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected next year, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for SpiceJet, at least in the near future.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? If you believe SPICEJET is currently trading above its value, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. Given the uncertainty from negative growth in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. 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 SPICEJET for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. Its price has risen beyond its true value, on top of a negative future outlook. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Should the price fall in the future, will you be well-informed enough to buy?
