Today we’re going to take a look at the well-established Exor N.V. (BIT:EXO). The company’s stock saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the BIT over the last few months. As a large-cap stock, which tends to be well-covered by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Exor’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What is Exor worth?
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my relative valuation model. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 10.5x is currently trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 10.49x, which means if you buy Exor today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that Exor should be trading at this level in the long run, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Exor’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
What does the future of Exor look like?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. With profit expected to grow by 60% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Exor. 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? It seems like the market has already priced in EXO’s positive outlook, 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 EXO? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the true value?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on EXO, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic forecast is encouraging for EXO, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
