What is PixArt Imaging worth?

According to my valuation model, PixArt Imaging seems to be fairly priced at around 6.6% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy PixArt Imaging today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is NT$201.91, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. What's more, PixArt Imaging’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

What kind of growth will PixArt Imaging generate?

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. PixArt Imaging's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 47%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in 3227’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 financial strength of the company. 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 an eye on 3227, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect 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.

So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing PixArt Imaging at this point in time. While conducting our analysis, we found that PixArt Imaging has 2 warning signs and it would be unwise to ignore these.
