Should You Investigate Senior plc (LON:SNR) At UK£1.97?

Senior plc (LON:SNR), which is in the aerospace & defense business, and is based in United Kingdom, saw significant share price movement during recent months on the LSE, rising to highs of £2.35 and falling to the lows of £1.94. 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 Senior's current trading price of £1.97 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 Senior’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 Senior?

Great news for investors – Senior is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £3.68, but it is currently trading at UK£1.97 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Senior’s share price is theoretically quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to move to its intrinsic value, 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.

What does the future of Senior look like?

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. 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 73% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Senior. 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? Since SNR is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase 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.
