Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Gambling.com Group Limited (NASDAQ:GAMB)?

Published
NasdaqGM:GAMB

While Gambling.com Group Limited (NASDAQ:GAMB) might not have the largest market cap around , it led the NASDAQGM gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. Shareholders may appreciate the recent price jump, but the company still has a way to go before reaching its yearly highs again. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Gambling.com Group’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What's The Opportunity In Gambling.com Group?

Gambling.com Group is currently expensive based on our price multiple model, where we look at the company's price-to-earnings ratio in comparison to the industry average. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. We find that Gambling.com Group’s ratio of 21.22x is above its peer average of 12.51x, which suggests the stock is trading at a higher price compared to the Media industry. Furthermore, Gambling.com Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach levels around its industry peers, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What does the future of Gambling.com Group look like?

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? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in GAMB’s positive outlook, with shares trading above industry price multiples. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe GAMB should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards the industry PE ratio can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on GAMB for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its industry peers, which means it is likely that there is no more upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for GAMB, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
