Is Quantafuel ASA (OB:QFUEL-ME) Potentially Undervalued?

While Quantafuel ASA (OB:QFUEL-ME) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the OB. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine Quantafuel’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Quantafuel still cheap?

Good news, investors! Quantafuel is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is NOK76.54, but it is currently trading at kr59.50 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Quantafuel’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Quantafuel generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. In the upcoming year, Quantafuel's earnings are expected to increase by 65%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since QFUEL-ME is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on QFUEL-ME for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy QFUEL-ME. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.

So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. For example, Quantafuel has 4 warning signs (and 2 which are a bit unpleasant) we think you should know about.
