Is My E.G. Services Berhad still cheap?

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. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that My E.G. Services Berhad’s ratio of 26.23x is trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 26.1x, which means if you buy My E.G. Services Berhad today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe My E.G. Services Berhad should be trading in this range, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond the levels of other industry peers over the long-term. Furthermore, it seems like My E.G. Services Berhad’s share price is quite stable, which means there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s priced similarly to industry peers. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

Can we expect growth from My E.G. Services Berhad?
