Should You Investigate Sword Group S.E. (EPA:SWP) At €25.85?

Sword Group S.E. (EPA:SWP), which is in the it business, and is based in Luxembourg, led the ENXTPA 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 examine Sword Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Sword Group still cheap?

Good news, investors! Sword Group is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €38.50, but it is currently trading at €25.85 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Another thing to keep in mind is that Sword Group’s share price may be quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

Can we expect growth from Sword Group?

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 43% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Sword Group. 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 SWP 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
