While MARR S.p.A. (BIT:MARR) might not have the largest market cap around , it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the BIT, rising to highs of €12.46 and falling to the lows of €10.46. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether MARR's current trading price of €11.08 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at MARR’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is MARR Still Cheap?
The share price seems sensible at the moment according to our price multiple model, where we compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. We find that MARR’s ratio of 15.65x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 15.65x, which means if you buy MARR today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that MARR should be trading at this level in the long run, then there’s not much of an upside to gain over and above other industry peers. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since MARR’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
What kind of growth will MARR generate?
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. MARR's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 33%, 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? MARR’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around industry price multiples. 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 MARR? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on MARR, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for MARR, 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.
