Is It Time To Consider Buying SES S.A. (BDL:SESGL)?

SES S.A. (BDL:SESGL), is not the largest company out there, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the BDL, rising to highs of €6.86 and falling to the lows of €5.46. 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 SES' current trading price of €5.67 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at SES’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In SES?

SES appears to be overvalued by 24% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at €5.67 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of €4.56. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! Another thing to keep in mind is that SES’s share price is quite stable relative to the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

What kind of growth will SES 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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 2.2% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for SES, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? SESGL’s future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe SESGL should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. 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 tabs on SESGL for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
