Is Now The Time To Look At Buying MTY Food Group Inc. (TSE:MTY)?

While MTY Food Group Inc. (TSE:MTY) might not have the largest market cap around , it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the TSX, rising to highs of CA$58.34 and falling to the lows of CA$44.30. 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 MTY Food Group's current trading price of CA$44.30 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 MTY Food Group’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is MTY Food Group Still Cheap?

Good news, investors! MTY Food Group is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is CA$66.09, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that MTY Food Group’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What does the future of MTY Food Group 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. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. However, with an expected decline of -1.8% in revenues over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for MTY Food Group. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What This Means For You

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