Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Corem Property Group AB (publ) (STO:CORE A)?

Corem Property Group AB (publ) (STO:CORE A), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the OM 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? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Corem Property Group’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is Corem Property Group Worth?

The share price seems sensible at the moment 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 Corem Property Group’s ratio of 3.62x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 5.62x, which means if you buy Corem Property Group today, you’d be paying a decent price for it. And if you believe that Corem Property Group should be trading at this level in the long run, then there’s not much of an upside to gain over and above other industry peers. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Corem Property Group’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. 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.

Can we expect growth from Corem Property Group?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Corem Property Group, at least in the near future.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? CORE A seems priced close to industry peers right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock optimal for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on CORE A, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on CORE A for a while, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. This means there’s less benefit from mispricing. Furthermore, the negative growth outlook increases the risk of holding the stock. However, there are also other important factors we haven’t considered today, which can help gel your views on CORE A should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio.
