Is BBA Aviation still cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 4.52% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy BBA Aviation today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth £3.24, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. In addition to this, it seems like BBA Aviation’s share price is quite stable, which could mean there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
