Is M Winkworth PLC (LON:WINK) Potentially Undervalued?

While M Winkworth PLC (LON:WINK) might not have the largest market cap around , it saw a decent share price growth of 12% on the AIM over the last few months. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, 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 M Winkworth’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.
