Motus Holdings Limited (JSE:MTH), 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 JSE. 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? Let’s examine Motus Holdings’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What Is Motus Holdings Worth?
Good news, investors! Motus Holdings is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is ZAR149.76, but it is currently trading at R105 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Motus Holdings’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What kind of growth will Motus Holdings 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. Though in the case of Motus Holdings, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 9.1%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since MTH is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on MTH for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy MTH. 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 investment decision.
