When Should You Buy PlayWay S.A. (WSE:PLW)?

While PlayWay S.A. (WSE:PLW) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the WSE over the last few months. Less-covered, small caps sees more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s examine PlayWay’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's the opportunity in PlayWay?

According to my valuation model, PlayWay seems to be fairly priced at around 13% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy PlayWay today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth PLN586.63, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. In addition to this, PlayWay has a low beta, which suggests its share price is less volatile than the wider market.

What does the future of PlayWay look like?

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. 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 profit growth of 4.2% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for PlayWay, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? PLW’s future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. 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 the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on PLW, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.

So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing PlayWay at this point in time. For example, we've found that PlayWay has 2 warning signs (1 is a bit concerning!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.
