Why Lucas Bols N.V. (AMS:BOLS) Could Be Worth Watching

While Lucas Bols N.V. (AMS:BOLS) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the ENXTAM. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s take a look at Lucas Bols’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Lucas Bols Still Cheap?

Great news for investors – Lucas Bols is still trading at a fairly cheap price. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €28.91, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Lucas Bols’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

Can we expect growth from Lucas Bols?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. 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. Lucas Bols' revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. Unless expenses grow at the same level, or higher, this top-line growth should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since BOLS 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 financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
