What's the opportunity in SJR in Scandinavia?

Great news for investors – SJR in Scandinavia is still trading at a fairly cheap price according to my price multiple model, where I compare 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 SJR in Scandinavia’s ratio of 20.34x is below its peer average of 33.28x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Professional Services industry. What’s more interesting is that, SJR in Scandinavia’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
