When Should You Buy Anpario plc (LON:ANP)?

Anpario plc (LON:ANP), which is in the food business, and is based in United Kingdom, had a relatively subdued couple of weeks in terms of changes in share price, which continued to float around the range of UK£3.25 to UK£3.32. However, is this the true valuation level of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Anpario’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Anpario worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 3.1% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Anpario today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is £3.41, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. What's more, Anpario’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

Can we expect growth from Anpario?

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. Anpario’s revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. Unless expenses grow at the same level, or higher, this top-line growth should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? ANP’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ANP, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
