Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE:VPG)?

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE:VPG), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NYSE. Less-covered, small caps sees more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s examine Vishay Precision Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's The Opportunity In Vishay Precision Group?

According to my valuation model, Vishay Precision Group seems to be fairly priced at around 8.0% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Vishay Precision Group today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $36.90, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Vishay Precision Group’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 19% in the upcoming year, the short-term outlook is positive for Vishay Precision 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? VPG’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 the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
