Should You Investigate NOS, S.G.P.S., S.A. (ELI:NOS) At €3.21?

While NOS, S.G.P.S., S.A. (ELI:NOS) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the ENXTLS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine NOS S.G.P.S’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is NOS S.G.P.S still cheap?

Good news, investors! NOS S.G.P.S is still a bargain right now according to my price multiple model, which compares 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 NOS S.G.P.S’s ratio of 13.02x is below its peer average of 25.02x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Telecom industry. Another thing to keep in mind is that NOS S.G.P.S’s share price is quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its industry peers, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

What does the future of NOS S.G.P.S look like?

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. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 12% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for NOS S.G.P.S. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since NOS is currently below the industry PE ratio, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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 price multiple.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on NOS for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future profit outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy NOS. 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.

With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. Be aware that NOS S.G.P.S is showing 3 warning signs in our investment analysis and 1 of those is a bit concerning...
