When Should You Buy AB Dynamics Plc (LON:ABDP)?

AB Dynamics Plc (LON:ABDP), which is in the auto components business, and is based in United Kingdom, led the AIM gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. As a small cap stock, which tends to lack high analyst coverage, 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 take a look at AB Dynamics’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is AB Dynamics worth?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 25.44%, trading at UK£17.65 compared to my intrinsic value of £14.07. This means that the opportunity to buy AB Dynamics at a good price has disappeared! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since AB Dynamics’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What kind of growth will AB Dynamics generate?

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. With profit expected to grow by 95% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for AB Dynamics. 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 ABDP’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe ABDP should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
