What Is PLC S.p.A.'s (BIT:PLC) Share Price Doing?

PLC S.p.A. (BIT:PLC), 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 BIT. 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 PLC’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's the opportunity in PLC?

Good news, investors! PLC is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €2.08, but it is currently trading at €1.26 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. PLC’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

Can we expect growth from PLC?

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. In PLC's case, its revenues over the next few years are expected to grow by 81%, 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? Since PLC is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on PLC for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy PLC. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
