At UK£4.50, Is It Time To Put Alpha Financial Markets Consulting plc (LON:AFM) On Your Watch List?

Alpha Financial Markets Consulting plc (LON:AFM), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the AIM over the last few months, increasing to UK£5.08 at one point, and dropping to the lows of UK£4.42. 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 Alpha Financial Markets Consulting's current trading price of UK£4.50 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 Alpha Financial Markets Consulting’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Alpha Financial Markets Consulting?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 10.74% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Alpha Financial Markets Consulting today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth £4.06, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Alpha Financial Markets Consulting’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
