Yahoo Finance Should You Buy Ceres Power Holdings plc (LON:CWR) At UK£00.15275?
Ceres Power Holdings plc (LON:CWR), a electrical company based in United Kingdom, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the AIM over the last few months. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Ceres Power Holdings’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists. See our latest analysis for Ceres Power Holdings
What is Ceres Power Holdings worth?
Ceres Power Holdings is currently overpriced based on my relative valuation model. In this instance, I’ve used price-to-book ratio (PB) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows, and its earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value. I find that Ceres Power Holdings’s ratio of 9.78x is above its peer average of 2.13x, which suggests the stock is overvalued compared to the Electrical industry. In addition to this, it seems like Ceres Power Holdings’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to fall back down to an attractive buying range, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
Can we expect growth from Ceres Power Holdings?
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. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. However, with a relatively muted profit growth of 7.26% expected over the next year, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Ceres Power Holdings, at least in the short term.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? CWR’s future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe CWR 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.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on CWR for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its industry peers, which means it is likely that there is no more upside from mispricing. However, the positive growth outlook may mean it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
