What's the opportunity in Elementia. de?

According to my valuation model, Elementia. de seems to be fairly priced at around 0.05% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Elementia. de today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is MX$13.40, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Elementia. de’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from Elementia. de?

Are you a shareholder? ELEMENT *’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value.
