Have Investors Priced In KRBL Limited’s (NSE:KRBL) Growth?

KRBL Limited (NSE:KRBL), a food company based in India, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NSEI over the last few months, increasing to ₹546.35 at one point, and dropping to the lows of ₹432.25. 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 KRBL’s current trading price of ₹467.8 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 KRBL’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. View out our latest analysis for KRBL

What is KRBL worth?

According to my relative valuation model, the stock seems to be currently fairly priced. 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 KRBL’s ratio of 25.42x is trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 20.77x, which means if you buy KRBL today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe KRBL should be trading in this range, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, it seems like KRBL’s share price is quite stable, which means there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

Can we expect growth from KRBL?

It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? KRBL’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 track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at KRBL?
