Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG), which is in the professional services business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to $16.07 at one point, and dropping to the lows of $12.63. 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 Mistras Group's current trading price of $13.6 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 Mistras Group’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Mistras Group still cheap?

Good news, investors! Mistras Group is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $26.68, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Mistras Group’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 Mistras Group 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. Though in the case of Mistras Group, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting top-line growth of 6.3% over the next year, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since MG is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on MG for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy MG. 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 investment decision.
