Prodware (EPA:ALPRO), which is in the it business, and is based in France, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the ENXTPA over the last few months, increasing to €6.86 at one point, and dropping to the lows of €5.25. 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 Prodware's current trading price of €5.56 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 Prodware’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 Prodware?
Great news for investors – Prodware is still trading at a fairly cheap price. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Prodware’s ratio of 6.47x is below its peer average of 17.14x, which suggests the stock is undervalued compared to the IT industry. However, given that Prodware’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What does the future of Prodware look like?
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. 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. Prodware’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 98%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Since ALPRO is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive 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.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ALPRO for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy ALPRO. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
