At CHF331, Is Bell Food Group AG (VTX:BELL) A Buy?

Bell Food Group AG (SWX:BELL), a food company based in Switzerland, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the SWX, rising to the highs of CHF410 and falling to the lows of CHF326. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether Bell Food Group’s current trading price of CHF331 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 Bell Food Group’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. See our latest analysis for Bell Food Group

What is Bell Food Group worth?

Good news, investors! Bell Food Group is still a bargain right now. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-equity (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Bell Food Group’s ratio of 12.41x is below its peer average of 22.07x, which suggests the stock is undervalued compared to the Food industry. Bell Food Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What does the future of Bell Food Group 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. Bell Food Group’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 24.87%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since BELL is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
