What's the opportunity in Semapa - Sociedade de Investimento e Gestão SGPS?

Good news, investors! Semapa - Sociedade de Investimento e Gestão SGPS is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is €27.04, but it is currently trading at €14.04 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Another thing to keep in mind is that Semapa - Sociedade de Investimento e Gestão SGPS’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 Semapa - Sociedade de Investimento e Gestão SGPS?

ENXTLS:SEM Past and Future Earnings, November 14th 2019

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. Though in the case of Semapa - Sociedade de Investimento e Gestão SGPS, it is expected to deliver a negative earnings growth of -10%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although SEM is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to SEM, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
