While FGI Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ:FGI) might not have the largest market cap around , it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQCM over the last few months. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. 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? Let’s examine FGI Industries’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Great news for investors – FGI Industries is still trading at a fairly cheap price. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $1.20, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that FGI Industries’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.
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. 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. Though in the case of FGI Industries, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 3.8% over the next year, 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.
Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since FGI 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 FGI for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy FGI. 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 buy.
