Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Inta Bina Group Berhad (KLSE:INTA)?

Inta Bina Group Berhad (KLSE:INTA), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the KLSE over the last few months.

What's the opportunity in Inta Bina Group Berhad?

The share price seems sensible at the moment according to my price multiple model, where I compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 17.47x is currently trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 21.4x, which means if you buy Inta Bina Group Berhad today, you’d be paying a decent price for it. And if you believe Inta Bina Group Berhad should be trading in this range, then there isn’t much room for the share price to grow beyond the levels of other industry peers over the long-term. Furthermore, Inta Bina Group Berhad’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This may mean it is less likely for the stock to fall lower from natural market volatility, which suggests less opportunities to buy moving forward.

Can we expect growth from Inta Bina Group Berhad?

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.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in INTA’s positive outlook, with shares trading around industry price multiples. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at INTA? 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 an eye on INTA, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for INTA, 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.
