Melcor Developments Ltd. (TSE:MRD), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the TSX over the last few months, increasing to CA$17.26 at one point, and dropping to the lows of CA$11.51. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.

Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Melcor Developments’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Melcor Developments worth?
According to my valuation model, Melcor Developments seems to be fairly priced at around 16.47% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Melcor Developments today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth CA$10.05, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Melcor Developments’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
What does the future of Melcor Developments 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. Melcor Developments' revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming year, 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? It seems like the market has already priced in MRD’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
