Is It Time To Consider Buying Melrose Industries PLC (LON:MRO)?

Simply Wall St
·3-min read

Melrose Industries PLC (LON:MRO), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the LSE, rising to highs of UK£1.66 and falling to the lows of UK£1.25. 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 Melrose Industries' current trading price of UK£1.27 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Melrose Industries’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Melrose Industries Still Cheap?

Good news, investors! Melrose Industries is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £1.80, but it is currently trading at UK£1.27 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Melrose Industries’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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.

What does the future of Melrose Industries look like?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. With profit expected to grow by 57% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Melrose Industries. 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? Since MRO is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on MRO for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy MRO. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed buy.
