What Is APG|SGA SA's (VTX:APGN) Share Price Doing?

Simply Wall St
·3-min read

APG|SGA SA (VTX:APGN), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the SWX over the last few months, increasing to CHF187 at one point, and dropping to the lows of CHF158. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether APG|SGA's current trading price of CHF161 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at APG|SGA’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In APG|SGA?

Good news, investors! APG|SGA is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is CHF230.76, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Another thing to keep in mind is that APG|SGA’s share price may be quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

What does the future of APG|SGA 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. Though in the case of APG|SGA, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 9.2% in the next few years, 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 APGN 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.
