What Is Matica Fintec Worth?

According to our valuation model, Matica Fintec seems to be fairly priced at around 1.08% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Matica Fintec today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €1.72, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. What's more, Matica Fintec’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

Can we expect growth from Matica Fintec?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Though in the case of Matica Fintec, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 6.0% in the next few years, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in MFT’s future outlook, 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 tabs on MFT, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook 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.
