Is Develia still cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 7.88% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Develia today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is PLN2.11, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, Develia’s low beta implies that the stock is less volatile than the wider market.

What kind of growth will Develia generate?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 Develia's case, its revenues over the next few years are expected to grow by 82%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in DVL’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. 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 DVL, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which 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.
