Is It Time To Consider Buying SMCP S.A. (EPA:SMCP)?

SMCP S.A. (EPA:SMCP), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the ENXTPA over the last few months. 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, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine SMCP’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What Is SMCP Worth?

Good news, investors! SMCP is still a bargain right now. According to our valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €4.00, but it is currently trading at €2.97 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that SMCP’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.

Can we expect growth from SMCP?

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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 3.4% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for SMCP, at least in the short term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since SMCP is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase 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 SMCP 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 SMCP. 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.
