Why Corem Property Group AB (publ) (STO:CORE A) Could Be Worth Watching

Corem Property Group AB (publ) (STO:CORE A), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the OM over the last few months, increasing to kr15.35 at one point, and dropping to the lows of kr8.96. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

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 2.32x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 3.71x, 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. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Corem Property Group’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What does the future of Corem Property Group 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. 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 reduce the risk in your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock beneficial 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.
