Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation (TPE:6257)?

Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation (TPE:6257), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the TSEC. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Sigurd Microelectronics’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Sigurd Microelectronics still cheap?

Great news for investors – Sigurd Microelectronics 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. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 12.38x is currently well-below the industry average of 28.37x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. What’s more interesting is that, Sigurd Microelectronics’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to move closer to its industry peers, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

What does the future of Sigurd Microelectronics look like?

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. With profit expected to grow by 23% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Sigurd Microelectronics. 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? Since 6257 is currently trading below the industry PE ratio, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive profit outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current price multiple.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on 6257 for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future profit outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy 6257. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed assessment.

With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. For example, we've found that Sigurd Microelectronics has 4 warning signs (1 doesn't sit too well with us!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.
