What's the opportunity in Med Life?

According to my valuation model, Med Life seems to be fairly priced at around 1.67% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Med Life today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth RON10.43, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, Med Life’s low beta implies that the stock is less volatile than the wider market.

What does the future of Med Life 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. 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 63% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Med Life. 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? It seems like the market has already priced in M’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 tabs on M, 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 further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
